Fire crews began dousing the flames only to learn that two people, 30-year-old Miranda Marie Corrigan and her infant son Michael Lane Humfleet, were unable to escape. By the fireÂs end, three other adults were taken to a hospital for smoke inhalation, the Lynn Haven Fire Department reported.Patricia Summerlin, who has lived across the street for about 25 years, was awakened by her dogs barking at what sounded like ammunition popping.

The dredged ramp should be able to accommodate the launching of boats 24 feet long to 30 feet long during high tide, Panama City Mayor Greg Brudnicki said Wednesday.He and County Commission Chairman Bill Dozier announced the opening of the ramp to the media at the site, which is beside FSU-Panama City in the area behind Gulf Coast State College.Before the dredging, the ramp had filled in with silt, mostly coming from a nearby outfall pipe, and the ramp was really only suitable for small boats, such as kayaks.As a result, many owners of larger boats used Shoreline Park about a mile away, which doesnÂt have the parking of Carl Gray, causing congestion at the Shoreline ramp, Dozier said.Carl Gray Park now offers a launch for larger boats at a site with a lot of parking, Dozier said.The county has a dredging device it used for the proj-ect, which was completed by county employees.Carl Gray Park ready for launchDredge boats clean out the launch ramp area at Carl Gray Park recently.

The sanctions list included the 13 Russians indicted last month by special counsel Robert Muel-ler, whose Russia investigation the president has repeatedly sought to discredit.U.S. national security officials said the FBI, Department of Homeland Security and intelligence agencies had deter-mined that Russian intelligence and others were behind a broad range of cyberattacks beginning a year ago that have infiltrated the energy, nuclear, commercial, water, aviation and manufacturing sectors.The officials said the Russian hackers chose their targets, obtained access to computer systems, conducted Ânetwork reconnaissanceÂŽ of systems that control key elements of the U.S. economy and then attempted to cover their tracks by deleting evidence of their infiltration.The U.S. government has helped the industries kick out the Russians from all systems currently known to have been penetrated, according to the officials, but the efforts continue.

** A2 Friday, March 16, 2018 | The News Herald Two women have been charged with the public order crime of failing to report suspected child abuse after they failed to report that children in their care had apparently consumed drug-laced brownies. Amber Eslinger Jones: ÂAnd people wonder why I donÂt want my grand baby in Daycare.ÂŽ The former student charged with killing 17 people at a Florida high school last month refused to announce a plea on Wednesday so a judge entered a not guilty plea on his behalf. Kathleen OÂReilley: ÂWonder if those Âtwenty Broward County police ofÂ“ cers ringing the court in a show of securityÂŽ were under ROE not to draw, shoot, or protect if anything went wrong--but to exit the building, stand by their police vehicles, and wait for instructions from Israel via CNN nightly news ...ÂŽ David Noll: ÂHe has appointed counsel (the Public DefenderÂs ofÂ“ ce), but I suppose the Judge wanted to hear him answer. A denial is the ÂsafeÂŽ default for the Court to enter when thereÂs no other response. I doubt a criminal law attorney would take this case for the money thatÂs available; but our laws and rules probably address what constitutes too many assets to have appointed counsel. (Remember, we use to see that occasionally in court.) In that case, he could try to present his defense in the death penalty trial without any attorney. That would likely be a travesty and result in even more delay before the court proceedings are truly concluded.ÂŽ Brittney Bear: ÂAnother article said the reason he hasnt plead guilty yet is because they wonÂt take the death penalty off the table, (which they shouldnÂt)so heÂs staying silent because he wants life in prison not the death penalty.ÂŽREADER FEEDBACKToday is Friday, March 16 the 75th day of 2018.

** The News Herald | Friday, March 16, 2018 A3Carl Gray Park recently. Before the dredging, the ramp had Â“ lled in with silt, mostly coming from a nearby outfall pipe, and the ramp was really only suitable for small boats, such as kayaks. [CONTRIBUTED PHOTO] The officials, who briefed reporters on condition of anonymity to discuss sensitive national security information, left open the possibility of discovering more breaches, and said the federal government was issuing an alert to the energy industry to raise awareness about the threat and improve preparation.That alert, published online by Homeland Security, said the hacking effort was a Âmulti-stage intrusion campaign by Russian government cyber actors who targeted small com-mercial facilitiesÂ networksÂŽ to gain access and plant malware, which was then used to monitor activity as well as to move laterally into other, larger industrial con-trol systems.It also said the hackers exploited open-source material from companiesÂ public websites to mine seemingly innocuous infor-mation that was later used to infiltrate networks. In one case, the alert said, hackers downloaded a small image from a companyÂs human resources page that when blown up was actually Âa high-resolution photo that displayed control systems equipment models and status information in the background.ÂŽThe accusations and accompanying Russian sanc-tions were the most severe yet by the Trump administration in connection with hacking and other efforts to sow discord in AmericaÂs democracy and compromise its infrastructure.Also Thursday, President Donald Trump, who has been publicly skeptical of the election allegations, joined the leaders of Britain, France and Germany in a joint statement blaming Moscow for the poisoning of an ex-Russian spy who was living in England.Reaction from Russia was swift.Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov said Moscow was greeting the sanctions calmly, but he warned that Russia had already started Âto prepare a response.ÂŽ He suggested the Trump administration had timed the sanctions to come ahead of this weekendÂs presidential election in Russia, in which President Vladimir Putin is expected to win an over-whelming victory.ÂThey took out 14 truck loads, 200 cubic yards of material, and they hauled it over to the Redwood Avenue site,ÂŽ Dozier saidDozier said residents asked the county to clear out the ramp.The Carl Gray ramp dredging is a precursor to a major overhaul of the ramp that the city is plan-ning to fund using BP oil spill funds. The city is planning to fix the outfall and build a new ramp with two fixed docks and a floating dock for jet skis that meets current standards. Brudnicki said the reno-vations to the park should cost between $750,000 and $900,000.ÂWeÂre going to have docks and places where people can stage their boats,ÂŽ Brudnicki said. ÂIt is going to be really, really nice. WeÂre making it a first-class place to go launch.ÂŽBrudnicki said the city just found out that it should be receiving the oil spill funds in the next month or two. He said the dredging will make the ramp useful this summer while the oil spill project progresses.ÂPeople will be able to use (the ramp), and so this will get us through the spring and summer,ÂŽ Brudnicki said. ÂWe donÂt have to wait another year (to use Carl Gray), and itÂs great access to West Bay. So many people use this. There is so much parking here, so it's wonderful. We have a great relation-ship with the county. This is one of the ways they are helping us out.ÂŽ PARKFrom Page A1Outside her window, she could see the flames towering about 10 feet over the roof as occu-pants fled.ÂIt just happened so fast,ÂŽ Summerlin said. ÂIÂve never seen a fire take off like that.ÂŽSummerlin said she ran toward the fire to greet the family, who had begun banging on the window of a bedroom where a mother and daughter slept.ÂWe never heard them cry,ÂŽ Summerlin said. ÂIÂm just hoping they fell asleep and never woke up. IÂm hoping, anyway.ÂŽJane Leach, a neighbor on the backside of the house, said she was asleep when she heard banging on her front door and stepped outside to see the carport area of the home engulfed in flames. As a precaution, officers ordered her out of her house where fire trucks and firefighting equipment lined the block, she said.Leach, who has lived in the neighborhood since 2000, said she had had only passing interac-tions with the neighbors, but they were always friendly. One of the men of the family cut her grass a few times after her husband died about a year earlier.ÂI feel so bad for them,ÂŽ Leach said. ÂThey were a real nice family.ÂŽAs fire crews doused the remaining hot spots Thursday on the homeÂs charred skeleton, Lynn Haven Fire Chief John DeLongay said officials had yet to establish what started the fire or what caused it to become fully involved so quickly. He did note there was a Âlarge fire loadÂŽ of combustible material inside the house burning when crews arrived, but wasnÂt sure if that was a contributing factor.In addition to the deaths, three people were taken to a hospital for smoke inhalation. Firefighters were able to save several pets, but a cat and a dog also died, DeLonjay said.Neighbors said the family had lived in the house for about six years. They mostly kept to themselves in that time but made sure to say hello in passing.Summerlin recalled going to a yard sale recently at their home, where she played with the baby boy. The last she saw of the family, she was giving them pieces of clothing because they barely escaped in whatever they wore to sleep that night.Fire marshals are investigating the cause of the fire. LHPD reported that they do not suspect foul play. Anyone with informa-tion regarding the fire is asked to call the Lynn Haven Police Depart-ment at 850-265-4111.

Defense lawyers argued that Gasser fired in self-defense when McKnight walked up to his car following a 5-mile confrontation that began on a bridge spanning the Missis-sippi River in New Orleans and ended with gunfire in neigh-boring Jefferson Parish. ÂLet this be a cautionary tale,ÂŽ Judge Ellen Kovach said.

Currently, there are no limits on nicotine, which occurs naturally in tobacco plants. Under law, the FDA can regulate nicotine although it cannot remove it completely.BATON ROUGE, LA.Grand jury indicts 4 in death of university frat pledgeA grand jury indicted four people Thursday in the death of a Louisiana State University student whose blood-alcohol content was more than six times the legal limit for driving.The state grand jury issued the indictments six months after 18-year-old Maxwell Gruver died at a hospital after a night of drinking at the Phi Delta Theta house on LSUÂs campus. The jury indicted Matthew Alexander Naquin, 20, of Boerne, Texas on a felony neg-ligent homicide charge, which is punishable by up to five years in prison. Three others were indicted on a misdemeanor charge of hazing: Sean-Paul Gott, 21; Ryan Isto, 19; and Patrick Forde, 21.BRATISLAVA, SLOVAKIASlovak government resigns over slain journalist crisis Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico and his government resigned on Thursday as a way out of the political crisis triggered by the slayings of an investigative journalist and his fiancee.President Andrej Kiska accepted the resignation and asked Peter Pellegrini, FicoÂs deputy prime minister, to form a new government. The move is meant to keep the current three-party coalition in power and avoid the possibility of early elections.The resignation came after tens of thousands of Slovaks joined in anti-government pro-tests last week to demand the governmentÂs resignation and a thorough investigation of the shooting deaths of Jan Kuciak and Martina Kusnirova.LONDONQueen gives her consent for Harry-Meghan weddingQueen Elizabeth II has given her formal consent to the marriage of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle. The British monarch has issued a declaration consenting Âto a Contract of Matrimony between My Most Dearly Beloved Grandson Prince Henry Charles Albert David of Wales and Rachel Meghan Markle.ÂŽ The prince, fifth in line to the British throne, and the American actress are to marry May 19 at Windsor Castle.Alongside the declaration that was made public Thursday, the queen signed an Instrument of Consent, a formal notice of approval. Associated PressNATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg speaks during the NATO annual report Thursday in Brussels. He said European members and Canada spent a total of almost 5 percent more on defense last year compared to 2016, amid pressure from President Donald Trump to boost military budgets.

PUBLIC INFORMATION OFFICE VIA THE ASSOCIATED PRESS] By Ryan J. FoleyThe Associated PressIOWA CITY, Iowa Â„ The campaign for tighter gun laws that insp ired unprecedented student walkouts across the country still faces an uphill climb in a majority of states, an Associated Press review of gun legislation found.The AP survey of bill activity in state legislatures before and after the Parkland, Florida, school shooting provides a reality check on the ambitions of the ÂEnough is EnoughÂŽ movement. It suggests that votes like the one in Florida, where Republican lawmakers defied the National Rifle Association to pass new gun regulations, are unlikely to be repeated in many other states, at least not this year.The student-led activism might yet lead to future reforms, but for now, the gun debate among most lawmakers still falls along predictable and largely partisan lines, with few exceptions, according to the analysis.Because Congress shows no sign of acting, state legis-latures dominate the national debate over guns. And major changes wonÂt be easy to achieve in statehouses that are mostly controlled by the gun-friendly GOP.Republicans have sponsored more than 80 percent of bills that would expand gun rights, while Democrats have introduced more than 90 percent of bills to limit them. The total number of gun-rights and gun-control bills identified by AP statehouse reporters is roughly equal Â„ about 300 in each category.Many of the Democratic gun-control bills have been introduced in legislatures dominated by Republicans, meaning they have little or no chance of passing.ÂI think (the) public attitude has changed, but I donÂt see a big change here in the Legislature,ÂŽ said Iowa Rep. Art Staed, a Democrat who sought unsuccessfully after the Parkland attack to force the Iowa House to consider allowing courts to temporar-ily seize guns from dangerous individuals. ÂItÂs been very frustrating.ÂŽIowaÂs GOP-controlled Legislature, which last year approved a historic expansion of gun rights, has not held hearings on Democratic proposals to ban assault-style weapons, prohibit high-capacity magazines or expand background checks. Instead, lawmakers have considered more pro-gun initiatives, including a bill to allow residents to carry handguns without obtaining permits and a resolution to enshrine the right to bear arms in the Iowa Constitution.Iowa Gun Owners, a Ânocompromise gun lobby,ÂŽ has mobilized its members to pressure Republican lawmak-ers to hold firm.ÂWeÂre not going to back off any advocacy of expanding gun rights,ÂŽ Executive Direc-tor Aaron Dorr said.After the Feb. 14 shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School, public support for gun control reached the highest point since 1993, with two-thirds of Ameri-cans supporting stricter laws, according to a Gallup Poll released Wednesday.Several corporations have also cut ties with the NRA, and some retailers have announced they will no longer sell rifles to anyone under 21. But the response in states has been more predictable.Some Democratic-controlled states with restrictive gun and ammunition laws are moving to tighten them further. Aside from Florida, Republican-led states have mostly rejected new gun-control measures and instead are weighing whether to arm teachers and allow more guns in public places. Several states are consider-ing raising the age to buy rifles to 21 or debating Âred flagÂŽ laws that would allow courts to order the temporary seizure of guns from people showing signs of mental distress or violence. But even those are running into resistance from pro-gun lawmakers.In Idaho, lawmakers rejected a plan that would have would prohibited convicted domestic abusers from owning guns, a measure that many states have adopted to enforce a similar federal ban.In Utah, lawmakers defeated GOP House Speaker Greg HughesÂ version of a red flag law, which would have allowed a family member or roommate to ask a court to temporarily remove firearms from someone who is acting dangerously.ÂThis, to me, is more of a gun-confiscation effort than it is a public-safety measure,ÂŽ Utah Republican Rep. Brian Greene said.Democratic lawmakers who control the Illinois Legislature acted swiftly after the Parkland assault to approve a longdebated bill requiring state licensing for firearms dealers, a measure intended to increase oversight and eliminate straw sales. But Republican Gov. Bruce Rauner vetoed the mea-sure Tuesday, saying it would hurt small businesses and do little to stop violence.NRA leader Wayne LaPierre said this week that his group would oppose all Âfailed gun controlÂŽ plans, including proposals to raise the gun-buying age, require background checks on private gun sales and transfers or ban semi-automatic rifles and magazines that hold more than 10 rounds.Gun-control advocates see major progress in FloridaÂs new law, which raises the rifle-buying age, creates a three-day waiting period to buy long guns and allows law enforcement to seek a court order to prevent access to guns for people who show signs of violence or mental illness. It also allows some teachers to be armed and bans bump stocks, which allow semi-automatic rifles to mimic fully automatic ones.Push for gun laws faces resistance in most statesStudents at Roosevelt High School take part in a protest against gun violence Wednesday in Seattle.

Parents lined up for the latest Christ-mas fad, even if it meant standing in the rain. And, of course, there was that jingle that bored into your brain: ÂI donÂt wanna grow up, IÂm a Toys R Us kid ...ÂŽBut all of that looks as if itÂs coming to an end.Toys R Us is going out of business in the U.S., announcing plans Wednesday to close or sell its 735 stores across the country, including its Babies R Us stores, in a move that jeopardizes more than 30,000 jobs.The superstore chain could no longer bear the weight of its heavy debt load and relentless trends that hurt its busi-ness, namely competition from the likes of Amazon, discounters like Walmart, and mobile games.At shopping centers around the country, the news was met with sad-ness and nostalgia.ÂMy first toy came from Toys R Us when I was young, and I had a Barbie corvette that you could drive,ÂŽ recalled Raven Cornell, 29, at a Toys R Us in Fayetteville, Georgia.Sidney Corum, 4, was with his grandfather at the same store when he heard the news.ÂMad. I go so angry. I fight. I will fight them,ÂŽ he said.Plenty of other toy chains have gone out of business over the past few years, among them KB Toys and Zany Brainy. But with the likely demise of Toys R Us, a piece of Americana is going away. (Toys R Us still has more than 700 stores outside the U.S., but those, too, are contracting fast.)Toys R Us traces its roots to 1948, when its founder, Charles Lazarus, opened Chil-drenÂs Bargain Town, a baby furniture store in Washington. Lazarus opened the first Toys R Us in 1957, and in 1965 Geoffrey the giraffe became the companyÂs mascot. He appeared in his first TV commercial in 1973.Toys R Us is going the way of stickballNEW YORKRadio giant iHeartMedia Â“ les bankruptcy planIHeartMedia, one of the worldÂs largest radio compa-nies, is seeking bankruptcy protection as part of an agreement with its lenders to reduce debt it took on to become a privately held company.The company formerly known as Clear Channel Communications said Thurs-day that it will operate its businesses as usual while it restructures its finances under Chapter 11 protection to reduce debt by more than $10 billion.IHeartMedia, which is based in San Antonio, operates 858 broadcast radio stations in more than 150 markets around the U.S. It also runs big live events such as the iHeartRadio Music awards.

[JOSHUA REPLOGLE/THE ASSOCIATED PRESS] By David KoenigThe Associated PressDALLAS Â„ Major U.S. airlines are hiring pilots at a rate not seen since before 9/11, and that is encouraging more young people to consider a career in the cockpit. Hiring is likely to remain brisk for years. Smaller airlines in the U.S. are struggling with a shortage that will continue as they lose pilots to the bigger carriers, which in turn will need to replace thousands of retiring pilots over the next few years.Aircraft maker Boeing predicts that the U.S. will need 117,000 new pilots by 2036. Just a decade ago thousands of pilots were furloughed and some aban-doned the profession.The shortage has been felt most keenly at regional carriers where many pilots start their airline careers.Last summer, Alaska Air-lines subsidiary Horizon Air canceled more than 300 flights over two months for lack of pilots. Republic Airways filed for bankruptcy protection in 2016, citing a pilot shortage that forced it to ground flights.Many regional carriers fly smaller planes for American Eagle, Delta Connection and United Express. Signing bonuses and higher pay have helped them hire more than 17,000 pilots in the past four years, but that only replaced those who moved up to the major carriers, accord-ing to the Regional Airline Association.Demand at the major air-lines is expected to grow as thousands of pilots at American, Delta, United and Southwest hit the U.S. mandatory pilot-retirement age of 65 in the next several years.Ameraican Airlines CEO Doug Parker believes the industry will cope.ÂEconomics is going to take care of this, and I think thatÂs what is happening now,ÂŽ Parker says. ÂThe (flight) schools are starting to fill up with people who realize, ÂIf I can get myself to 1,500 hours (the minimum flight hours needed to get an airline-pilot license), I can be assured of a career as a pilot.Â ThatÂs not something people could convince themselves of from 9/11 on until now.ÂŽPilot hiring nosedived after the Sept. 11, 2001 terror attacks that led to a decline in travel, and again during the global financial crisis in 2008-2009. Major U.S. airlines hired only 30 pilots in 2009, according to Future & Active Pilot Advisors, a career-counseling business for pilots.The job market didnÂt pick up significantly until around 2014. Last year 10 of the largest U.S. passenger and cargo airlines hired 4,988 pilots, the most since 2000 when they hired 5,105.ÂItÂs the best sellersÂ market I have seen in the last 45 years of monitoring airline pilot hiring,ÂŽ says Louis Smith, a retired airline pilot who runs the pilot-counseling outfit.Smith says forums for aspiring pilots that once drew a couple dozen people now sometimes attract more than 150. Some hope to make a mid-career change, which was rare just a few years ago.Aaron Ludomirski is one of those career-changers. The 31-year-old from Asbury Park, New Jersey, says he always wanted to be a pilot but studied busi-ness instead because the bleak job opportunities for pilots in the years after 9/11 didnÂt justify the cost of school and flight training. After college he started an online marketing business.ÂYear after year I found myself less and less satisfied with my work,ÂŽ he says. ÂI started thinking about what kind of career would really lead me to feeling fulfilled and accom-plished, and I kept coming back to aviation.ÂŽLudomirski did some fresh research and learned that pilots were back in demand Â„ and more would be retiring in the next few years. He quit his job and went to flight school. Now he is working as a flight instructor to gain the required flying time for an airline pilot.ÂI can interview for and even accept a conditional letter of employment and know I have my dream job lined up for me when IÂm ready,ÂŽ he says.Applications for commercial aviation majors at the University of North Dakota, a big aeronautical school, have more than doubled in the last three years, says Elizabeth Bjerke, an aviation profes-sor and one of the authors of the universityÂs widely watched forecast on pilot supply.

This year, though, the circumstances that forced overtime were understandable and justifiable. The regular session was humming along until Feb. 14, the day a gunman murdered 17 students and staff members at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland. It proved to be not just a turning point on the legislative calendar, but also in Florida gun politics. Public outcry Â„ led by several Parkland survivors who marched on the Capitol Â„ pressured legislators to suspend other business and respond, on the fly, sometimes reordering spending priorities. What emerged didnÂt go as far as what many had hoped for Â„ a ban on AR-15s and similarly styled semi-automatic rifles. For others, it went too far Â„ the $400 million package includes funding for a program to allow qualified school employees to be armed on campus. But, overall, it moved the needle in a direction the so-called ÂGunshine StateÂŽ has rarely seen. Indeed, the National Rifle Association was so offended it swiftly filed a lawsuit to prevent the state from increasing the age limit to purchase a rifle from 18 to 21 (the same as it has been for handguns). Legislators had to work into Sunday to pass the $88.7 million budget before adjourning. Sorting through the debris, we cataloged some of the good and the bad of the 2018 session, from what the Legislation accomplished and what it failed to do. Failures Â€ Good: Bills aimed at repealing vacation rental rules in places such as Flagler Beach stalled. That postpones, for at least another year, another Tallahassee assault on home rule. Make no mistake, though: The issue will be back before lawmakers in 2019. Â€ Bad: It was disappointing to see the Legislature failed to make texting while driving a primary offense, something all but four other states do. A bill to align Florida with most of the rest of the nation sailed through the House, but it surprisingly died in a Senate committee after concerns were raised about potential effects on minority drivers. Given the experiences of all the other states that have made texting while driving a primary offense, surely Florida can address those issues next year and put legislation on the next governorÂs desk. Lawmakers also failed to make necessary changes to prevent abuse in Âassignment of benefitsÂŽ property insurance, a problem that escalated after the state was walloped by Hurricane Irma in September. Accomplishments Â€ Good: The gun control and school safety law represented progress on a politically polarizing, highly emotional issue. Â€ Good: The budget includes $100 million for Florida Forever. ThatÂs not as much as what supporters of Amendment One, overwhelmingly approved by voters in 2014, had hoped for. But considering the Legislature last year designated zero dollars to the stateÂs environmental program, this, too, was progress. Â€ Bad: Although lawmakers increased funding for Bright Futures scholarships for college students, they added a mere 47 cents (0.01 percent) to the base allocation for per-student funding. They created a voucher program for students who have been bullied. And they now require teachers unions to have 50 percent of all teachers who are eligible to be union members pay dues, or risk being decertified. ItÂs a provision that, oddly, doesnÂt apply to other public sector unions, such as police and firefighters. A version of this editorial first appeared in the Daytona Beach News-Journal, a News Herald sister paper with GateHouse MediaLegislatureÂs hits, missesMaybe Donald Trump is such a powerful communicator and pot-stirrer that other countries, embarrassed by their own trade barriers, will eliminate them. Then I will thank the president for the wonderful thing he did. Genuine free trade will be a recipe for wonderful economic growth. But I fear the opposite: a trade war and stagnation Â„ because much of what Trump and his followers say is economically absurd. Â(If) you donÂt have steel, you donÂt have a country!ÂŽthe president announced. Steel is important, but Âthe choice isnÂt between producing 100 percent of our steel (and having a country) or producing no steel (and presumably losing our country),ÂŽ writes Veronique De Rugy of the Mercatus Center. Today, most steel we use is made in America. Imports come from friendly places like Canada and Europe. Just 3 percent come from China. Still, insists the president, ÂNearly twothirds of American raw steel companies have gone out of business!ÂŽ ThereÂs been consolidation. But so what? For 30 years, American steel production has stayed about the same. Profits rose from $714 million in 2016 to $2.8 billion last year. And the industry added nearly 8,000 jobs. Trump says, ÂOur factories were left to rot and to rust all over the place. Thriving communities turned into ghost towns. You guys know that, right?ÂŽ No. Few American communities became ghost towns. More boomed because of cheap imports. ItÂs sad when a steelworker loses work, but for every steelworker, 40 Americans work in industries that use steel. They, and we, benefit from lower prices. Economies thrive when there are clear rules that everyone understands. Now weÂve got ÂThe Art of the Deal,ÂŽ one company and country at a time. I understand Trump the developer liked to make special deals, but when presidents do that, itÂs crony capitalism Â„ crapitalism. You get the deal if you know the right people. ThatÂs what kept most of Africa and South America poor. But Trump thinks trade itself makes us poorer: ÂWe lose ... on trade. Every year $800 billion.ÂŽ Actually, last yearÂs trade deficit with China was $375 billion. But even if it were $800 billion, who cares? All a trade deficit shows is that a country sells us more than we sell them. We get the better of that deal. They get excess dollar bills, but we get stuff. Real problems are imbalances like next yearÂs $1 trillion federal government budget deficit. That will bankrupt us. Trade deficits are trivial. You run one with your supermarket. Do you worry because you bought more from them than they buy from you? No. The free market sorts it out. Trump makes commerce sound mysterious: ÂThe action that IÂm taking today follows a nine-month investigation by the Department of Commerce, Secretary Ross.ÂŽ But Wilber Ross is a hustler who phoned Forbes Magazine to lie about how much money he has. Now he goes on TV and claims, Â3 cents worth of tin plate steel in this can. So if it goes up 25 percent, thatÂs a tiny fraction of one penny. Not a noticeable thing.ÂŽ Not to him maybe, but Americans buy 2 billion cans of soup. Political figures like Ross Â„ and Trump Â„ shouldnÂt decide what weÂre allowed to buy. If they understood markets, theyÂd know enough to stay out of the way.

** The News Herald | Friday, March 16, 2018 A9By Malcolm RitterThe Associated PressNEW YORK Â„ Stone tools and other items from ancient sites in Kenya give a glimpse at the emergence of some key human behaviors, perhaps including a building of relationships with distant neighbors, new research says.Scientists canÂt be sure whether the objects were made by our species, Homo sapiens, or some close relative thatÂs now extinct. But at about 320,000 years old, theyÂre roughly the same age or a bit older than the earli-est known H. sapiens fossils, which appeared in Morocco.In any case, they show Âfoundations of the origin of modern human behavior,ÂŽ says Richard Potts of the Smithsonian Institution, one of the researchers report-ing the find in three papers released Thursday by the journal Science.The tools are much smaller and more sophisticated than the older, teardrop-shaped stone tools found in the same area in southern Kenya. Some were made of a volcanic rock, obsidian, that didnÂt come from the area, meaning the toolmakers traveled miles to get it. And those excursions must have led them to encounter groups of H. sapiens or our close evolutionary relatives. The toolmakers likely made connections with them so that they wouldnÂt be threat-ened when they showed up on somebody elseÂs turf, the researchers said.ÂI donÂt think you would last very long if you went around grabbing someone elseÂs obsidian without their permission,ÂŽ said Alison Brooks, an anthropology pro-fessor at George Washington University in Washington, D.C., and another author of the papers.The newer tool style, known from other sites as Middle Stone Age technology, produced smaller stone flakes for uses like scraping and points on projectiles. It required a lot more planning to break off those chips to a desired size and shape, and so indicates a level of mental sophistication, Potts said. The findings include some small stone points that were carefully modified at the base so they could be attached to something like a spear.Potts stressed that the researchers donÂt claim that theyÂve identified the birthplace of this tool style, but rather that the finds represent what was going on in at least one part of Africa.The older stone tools are from 1.2 million to about 500,000 years ago. Then, because of the geology of the sites, nothing is preserved until 320,000 years ago, when Âwe have a total replacementÂŽ of the old tool style by a more advanced one, Potts said.Analysis showed much of the obsidian was from places about 15 miles to 30 miles (25 to 50 kilometers) away in five different directions. So that means the toolmakers main-tained mental maps of where to go find it, Potts said.The volcanic rock was brought in as a raw mate-rial, and then turned into the sharp-edged chips. The rock was evidently valuable, and so it might have been traded, Potts said.He also said the toolmak-ers may have been spurred to create a wide-ranging social network as a hedge against the unpredictability of water and food supplies, caused by shifts in the natural environment.ÂNetworks are the way that hunter-gatherers protect themselves against disaster in the future,ÂŽ said Brooks.Stone tools give early glimpse of human behaviorThis image provided by the SmithsonianÂs Human Origins Program shows artifacts found in southern KenyaÂs Olorgesailie Basin. [SMITHSONIAN HUMAN ORIGINS PROGRAM VIA THE ASSOCIATED PRESS] By Jill Lawless and Vladimir IsachenkovThe Associated PressLONDON Â„ The United States, France and Germany joined Britain on Thursday in condemning Russia for the nerve-agent poisoning of a former spy, calling it an Âassault on U.K. sover-eignty,ÂŽ as the Kremlin vowed to expel British diplomats soon in response to LondonÂs moves against Moscow.Britain says blame for the poisoning of Sergei Skripal and his daughter in the Eng-lish city of Salisbury lies with the Russian state. Prime Min-ister Theresa May responded by expelling 23 Russian diplomats, severing high-level contacts with Moscow and vowing to take both open and covert actions against Rus-sian dirty money and Âhostile state activity.ÂŽRussian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said Moscow would ÂcertainlyÂŽ expel some British diplomats soon in retaliation.In a rare joint statement, May and U.S. President Donald Trump, French Presi-dent Emmanuel Macron and German Chancellor Angela Merkel said Âthere is no plau-sible alternative explanationÂŽ to Russian responsibility for the poisoning.ÂThis use of a militarygrade nerve agent, of a type developed by Russia, consti-tutes the first offensive use of a nerve agent in Europe since the Second World War,ÂŽ the leaders said, calling it Âan assault on U.K. sovereigntyÂŽ and Âa breach of international law.ÂŽTrump, who has often been reluctant to criticize Russian President Vladimir Putin, said it Âcertainly looks like the Russians were behind it.ÂŽTrump spoke to reporters at the White House after his administration announced new sanctions on Russian entities for alleged meddling in the 2016 U.S. presidential election.The four-nation statement is the fruit of British efforts to enlist international support as it tries to hold Russia accountable for the March 4 attack that left the former Russian agent and his daugh-ter in critical condition and a British police officer seriously ill.Russia denies being the source of the nerve agent that poisoned the Skripals and has demanded Britain share samples collected by investigators. Britain says the poison used was Novichok, a class of nerve agent developed by the Soviet Union toward the end of the Cold War.Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov said Russia had halted all chemical weap-ons research after joining the Chemical Weapons Convention that came into force in 1997, and completed the destruction of its stockpiles last year.The poisoning has sparked a war of words from senior politicians in London and Moscow, increasing tensions between the two countries.Lavrov said BritainÂs Âboorish and unfoundedÂŽ accusations against Russia were intended to distract public attention from the troubled path toward Brexit.US, France, Germany: Russia is to blame for attack on spyBritish Prime Minister Theresa May speaks to members of military Thursday as she visits Salisbury, southwest England. May was in Salisbury to view the area of SundayÂs suspected nerve-agent attack on Russian double agent Sergei Skripal and his daughter, Yulia. [TOBY MELVILLE/POOL VIA THE ASSOCIATED PRESS] The Associated PressCHICAGO Â„ United Air-lines has announced it will issue special bag tags for animal carriers and prosecutors have launched an investigation to determine if criminal charges are war-ranted following the death of a French bulldog puppy that was forced into an overhead bin on a United flight.The Chicago-based airline said a flight attendant who ordered the passenger to put her pet carrier in the overhead bin aboard a Houston-to-New York flight Monday didnÂt know there was a dog inside.ÂTo prevent this from hap-pening again, by April we will issue bright colored bag tags to customers traveling with in-cabin pets,ÂŽ United said in a statement. The family that owned the dog and other passengers contradicted the airlineÂs account, saying the dogÂs barks were audible from inside the bin.Eleven-year-old Sophia Ceballos told NBC News that her mother told the flight attendant ÂÂItÂs a dog, itÂs a dog,Â and (the flight attendant) said we have to put it up there,ÂŽ in the bin.Other passengers backed up the familyÂs account on Twitter and Facebook.Late Wednesday, the Harris County, Texas, district attorneyÂs office said its animal cruelty division is working with the countyÂs animal cruelty task force on a criminal investigation about what happened on the plane.A statement from prose-cutors said they wonÂt decide if criminal charges are war-ranted until the investigation is completed.The Associated Press sent an email seeing comment Thursday on the criminal investigation to an airline spokesman.Last year, 18 animals, mostly dogs, died while being transported on United Â„ three-fourths of all animal deaths on U.S. carriers, according to the Department of Transportation. Those figures represent animals that die in cargo holds.It is rare that an animal dies on a plane. Even on United, there was only one death for roughly every 4,500 animals transported last year.United, which promotes its pet-shipping program called PetSafe, carries more animals than any other airline, but its animal-death rate is also the highest in the industry. Alaska Airlines, which carries only 17 percent fewer animals, had just two deaths last year.United to issue special pet carrier tags after dogÂs death

[PATTI BLAKE/THE NEWS HERALD] By Genevieve SmithThe News HeraldPANAMA CITY Â„ A silver hatchback rested between Bay High SchoolÂs softball and baseball fields in the William Harrison Jr. Athletic Complex on Thursday morning. The front of the car had been smashed so severely that the hood, which once stretched smoothly over the carÂs engine bay, was bent into a 90-degree angle over a mass of crushed and twisted metal.The hatchback sat in front of a dark blue vehicle that seemed to have encountered a similar fate. Suddenly, three emergency vehicles pulled up and EMTs quickly began pull-ing bodies from the cars.This was the scene set up for Bay HighÂs junior and senior class as part of the schoolÂs hosting of Prom Promise Â„ a nationwide incentive working to prevent car accidents involving teenagers driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol during the prom season.

[JOSHUA BOUCHER/THE NEWS HERALD] DUI demonstration at Bay High forewarns students of dangers as prom approachesSee PROM, B6 By Zack McDonald747-5071 | @PCNHzack zmcdonald@pcnh.comPANAMA CITY Â„ Jurors have awarded a Bay County couple $800,000 after finding that a local hospitalÂs negligence resulted in the stillbirth of their child, according to court records.Jamie and Billy Rice filed the lawsuit in the 14th Judicial Cir-cuit Court against Gulf Coast Regional Medical Center and hospital staff in the OBGYN department. It alleged that negligence on the part of the hospital caused the October 2013 stillbirth of the coupleÂs baby. At the end of the weeklong trial Friday, jurors found that the hospital alone bore responsibility in the case and awarded the couple $800,000 in damages, court records show.Couple awarded $800,000 in hospital lawsuitJury found hospital was negligent in its handling of a case that resulted in a stillborn childSee LAWSUIT, B6 See UPGRADES, B6By Zack McDonald747-5071 | @PCNHzack zmcdonald@pcnh.comPANAMA CITY Â„ In a lawsuit filed against a candidate for the Panama City Beach City Coun-cil, a sitting councilman claims that he has continued toendure defamation about his previous law enforcement career despite providing what he considered proof of his service, according to court records.Beach Councilman Hector Solis filed the lawsuit Tues-day in the 14th Judicial Circuit Court, alleging that he has been the subject of libel and slander by Burnie Thompson, a candidate for a seat on the council and internet talk show host. Solis claims he has been maliciously attacked with falsehoods about his employment history as an officer in the federal prison system. However, Thompson said that he only has been questioning a public official about a campaign platform that contributed to SolisÂ ascension to power.Solis has claimed at least $15,000 in damages, which is the minimum claim required in circuit court lawsuits, and demanded a jury trial. A jury could award more, less or side with Thompson. The case also could be settled out of court.One element elected officials have to prove in defamationsuits is that Âactual maliceÂŽ was intended by a statement. In his lawsuit, Solis attempts to show that Thompson acted maliciously bycraftingthe narrative that Solis furthered his po litical aspirations bylying about a career in law enforcement and did not cease despite records coming to lightthat Solis argued showed otherwise.PCB councilman les libel suit against candidateSee LIBEL, B3

I plan to have my office once again review all of the documentary evidence,ÂŽ Eddins said. ÂI plan to once again review all of the statements of all of the witnesses that have been provided to this point, and then I plan to gather any additional documents I believe will be helpful and interview any additional witnesses I feel will be benefi-cial to the investigation.ÂŽEddins applauded the work of the grand jury and said its findings "represent the findings of a cross-section of the community."Jurors expressed particular concern with the Âbehavior and knowledge of Superintendent of Schools Mary Beth Jackson,ÂŽ including her failing totestify before the grand jury.ÂDespite repeated requests, Ms. Jackson chose not to appear before the grand jury. The grand jury expresses great disappoint-ment in that decision,ÂŽ the report said. ÂAs the elected superinten-dent of schools, Ms. Jackson is responsible for the safety and well-being of 30,000 students. We find that she has failed to fulfill that obligation. We further find that she has not satisfied her obligations as an elected official.ÂŽThe grand jury stated its pur-pose for convening was to review flawed school district operations, policies and procedures that came to light following an investigation of allegations and complaints lodged against Kenwood Ele-mentary pre-K teacher Marlynn Stillions. Failing to report allegations criticizedAn investigative report filed in June 2016 by district employee Arden Farley confirmed Stillions had physically harmed a 4-year-old autistic boy, Noah Perillo. But the investigation was declared invalid and closed 30 days before Jackson was re-elected superintendent. No action was ever taken against Stillions. The report was made public a year after Assistant Superinten-dent of Human Resources Stacie Smithdecided to close the case nearly two months after it was filed. Eddie Perillo, the father of the alleged victim, obtainedFar-ley's report through a public records request and took it to the Okaloosa County Sheriff's Office and Northwest Florida Daily News.In May 2017, the Sheriff's Office began an investigation into the same allegations docu-mented by Farley, and on Sept. 13 arrested Stillions and charged her with four counts of felony child abuse without great bodily harm.Farley, Smith and former Kenwood Principal Angelyn Vaughanalso have been arrested and charged with multiple felony counts for failure to report sus-pected child abuse. The cases have not yet been brought to trial.Grand jurors said the four arrests are ÂsufficientÂŽ for now, but, along with urging further investigation of Jackson, were critical of policies and procedures, training and investigations conducted involving allegations of employee misconduct.The grand jury also criticized the districtÂs failure Âduring the investigation process or reviewÂŽ to report the allegations of abuse by Stillions to either the Florida Department of Children and Families or the Office of Professional Practices of the Department of Education.ÂThe Department of Education has the authority to take action against a teacher's cer-tificate whenever allegations of abuse are confirmed,ÂŽ the grand jury said. ÂBoth of these reports should have been made by the Okaloosa County School District and its employees.ÂŽGrand jury: Jackson has ÂfailedÂ as elected o cialBy Zack McDonald747-5071 | @PCNHzack zmcdonald@pcnh.comPARKER Â„ After allegedly attempting a seat swap during a traffic stop, a Bay County couple has been charged with felonies involving leaving their small children unattended at home, according to arrest reports.Amy Elizabeth Freeman, 32, and Jamerson Earl McDonald, 34, appeared in court Tuesday.The Parker Police Department reported the couple was stopped about 10:30 p.m. Sunday for not having a regis-tered tag. As the vehicle came to a final rest, Freeman reportedly switched places with McDon-ald, who was driving.ÂUpon questioning of this act, both parties denied doing so until they were separated for individual questioning,ÂŽ offi-cers wrote. ÂI was informed by another officer that McDonald did deny switching places with Freeman until he was informed that Freeman had already admitted to the switch.ÂŽFreeman allegedly told officers she feared McDonaldÂs license was still not valid, so they switched seats. In the course of the investigation, Freeman repeatedly attempted to exit the vehicle, officers noted.At one point, an officer rec-ognized the two from previous encounters and asked about the well-being of their children. They allegedly told officers the children were at home being supervised by a friend, police reported.ÂUpon notifying Freeman that she was under arrest, she advised both children were at home alone,ÂŽ officers wrote. ÂÂƒ Upon arrival officers at the home, (one child) was found to be awake and walking around and the (other child) was asleep in the crib.ÂŽFreeman and McDonald were each charged with DUI, obstruction of justice and felony child neglect. McDonald also faces a charge of having no vehicle registration. They were taken into police custody. and DCF took custody of the chil-dren, police reported.Freeman is being held on a $8,000 bond and McDonald has been given a $13,000 com-bined bond. Both now have dependency cases pending in the courts due to the neglect charges.

He was born on Aug. 2, 1920, in Auburn, Massachusetts, to Charles and Hilda Carlson. Rudy served at the beginning of World War II in the Atlantic with the Merchant Marines. He then served in the Pacific with the United States Navy on LSD No.1 USS Ashland. Lt. Carlson survived two typhoons and six major battles in the Pacific including Iwo Jima. After the war, he met his bride-to-be in Lynn Haven, Florida. They raised a family of three daughters in Panama City. Rudy retired as a machinist for Arizona Chemical in 1982, after which he enjoyed traveling, visiting with family, and working in his shop.

Arrangements will be announced by Kent-Forest Lawn Funeral Home. BRUCE WARREN Thompson said Thurs-day in an interview with The News Herald, however, that he disputes SolisÂ records were proof of his employment because of inaccurate information within the documents Â„ the date of his retirement. Thompson said the record was ÂinsufficientÂŽ and until formal documents are produced, he will continue to question SolisÂ employment history.ÂThere is no malicious intent in lampooning public officials and ques-tioning their previous employment,ÂŽ Thomp-son said. ÂIt is well within the American journalistic tradition for the media to lampoon public officials.ÂŽSolis could not be immediately reached for comment.The two men are not running against one another in the coming April elections, but a seething rivalry has developed since the introduction of laws in 2016 meant to tone down Spring Break. Solis claims the slander began because of his support for the laws, which led him to run a successful cam-paign for a council seat in 2016 as a law-and-order candidate and former law enforcement officer.Solis states in the lawsuit that he retired after 29 years in the Federal Bureau of Prisons and the Department of Defense, where he worked in different capacities, including jail administrator. During his employment, Solis also served as a hostage negotiator, a firearms instructor and was a member of the joint terrorism task force, according to the lawsuit.After being elected to the council, Solis claims the attacks intensified with Thompson nicknaming him ÂChe,ÂŽ in reference to the Marxist revolutionary.In April 2017, Thompson also began questioning SolisÂ cam-paign statements that he worked as a corrections officer at a federal prison and claimed that Solis was instead a Âgroundskeeper.ÂŽ Thompson often pontificated on air whether the claim amounted to Âstolen valor,ÂŽ a federal crime.The lawsuit claims that in September Panama City Beach Chief of Police Drew Whitman investigated SolisÂ law enforcement history and concluded he was a retired federal law enforcement officer.ÂThompson was not satisfied,ÂŽ the lawsuit states. ÂSolis agreed to show Thompson cre-dentials, as long as there was no attempt to copy or photograph them. When Thompson violated the agreement during SolisÂ attempt to produce the credentials, the presen-tation was terminated.ÂŽIn January, a friend of SolisÂ posted online the document meant to verify his 29-year career as a law enforcement officer. However, the date of retirement on the documents was incorrect. Despite later receiving what Solis considers confirmation from the bureau of federal prisons, Thompson did not issue a retraction.ÂThompson did not report the information he received and allowed the falsehoods he perpetrated to continue and fester,ÂŽ the lawsuit states.Solis claims in the lawsuit he has endured defamation that few others have experienced. He asked that the court also award punitive damages in the case in an amount that would give Thompson Âpause prior to engaging in such harm-ful assaults in the future,ÂŽ the lawsuit states.In the past months, Solis also has filed a com-plaint against Thompson, claiming he violated campaign contribution laws. Thompson called the barrage of complaints ÂfrivolousÂŽ and questioned the timing as the April elections approach.ÂIs this a sitting councilman tampering with a campaign,ÂŽ Thompson asked. ÂAs a candidate, this is evidence of intimidation from City Hall looming over my head.ÂŽ LIBELFrom Page B1 WHATÂS HAPPENING By Tim CroftThe Port St. Joe Star 850-227-7827 | @PSJ_Star tcroft@starfl.comPORT ST. JOE Â„ The adage holds that all win-ning streaks ultimately come to an end.DonÂt tell that to the Gulf County Tourist Development Council which continues a win-ning run that began more than four years ago.Once again, bed tax collections for a month, in this latest report for January, climbed com-pared to the same month the year before, with TDC revenue now tracking almost 7 percent ahead of the prior fiscal year. So far in the 2017-2018 fiscal year, every month since October has realized a gain year-over-year; in just five of the past 16 months have bed taxes dipped compared to the prior year.Only one of those dips was by double figures.Bed tax collections in January were up 1.6 per-cent, an increase of $952, a month not unlike Octo-ber during which the rise was .5 percent, or $625.But an increase colors black on the bottom line, which now is up 6.7 per-cent above the prior fiscal year.ÂIt is right on target,ÂŽ said Kelli Godwin, execu-tive director of the TDC. ÂIt is what we are hoping for, steady and respon-sible growth.ÂWe are chugging right along.ÂŽAs most can observe, the Spring Break season, particularly for Georgia and Alabama schools, is currently increasing the number of visitors and Godwin noted that with Atlanta schools taking the break beginning with Easter, more is likely to come.In addition, the booking of The Brothers Osborne for a concert to celebrate their second record, ÂPort Saint Joe,ÂŽ has driven interest in the area and provided the kind of national exposure the TDC could scarcely hope to duplicate.ÂWe are hoping for a boost just from the pub-licity and awareness,ÂŽ Godwin said, noting that the 500 tickets for the show, sold online, were gobbled up in minutes.There are a host of other areas where the going is quick for the TDC.The spring campaign, based on the Instagram hashtag #InGulf, has been a roaring success.The campaign, which urges folks to show how they engulf themselves in adventure and recreation, has more than 2,000 submissions less than a month into the campaign.Weekly prizes already have been won by two people from northern climes, including Pennsylvania.ÂThere are some awe-some photos,ÂŽ she said.The grand prize to the campaign is a vacation stay along the Forgotten Coast.A new visitorÂs guide also has quickly gained traction.Godwin said feedback is positive that the TDC returned to a single volume, as opposed to the dual volumes directed to outside and inside the market, which was deemed confusing.During the past month, the number of guides dis-tributed to state welcome stations, airports and other outlets has topped 18,000.ÂThat is a great number,ÂŽ Godwin said.Godwin said the Welcome Center in Port St. Joe has welcomed more than 700 visitors during February alone and planned activities for winter guests, from discussions about archaeology to a tour of homes to a book club, were well-attended.Another positive, Godwin said, is the estab-lishment of dates for the 2018 bay scallop season, with the season moved back to an early August start with a late September close.The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission set the later season in significant measure because of feedback from local stakeholders.Gulf County bed taxes continue climbJust 5 of the past 16 months have seen dips in bed taxes TodayBEGINNING DULCIMER CLASS: 1-3 p.m. in the Bay County Public Library meeting room, 898 W. 11th St., Panama City.

** B4 Friday, March 16, 2018 | The News Herald PANAMA CITYDistrict: No students disciplined for walkoutAccording to a spokeswoman for Bay District Schools, no students were disciplined for participat-ing in the National Walkout Day on Wednesday.Between 50 and 75 students each at Mosley and Rutherford high schools, and 150 to 200 students each at Bay and Arnold high schools participated in the walkout, though because of the bell schedule, most stu-dents were between classes at 10 a.m. when the walkout started and were late returning to class.Principals reported that teachers gave students an unexcused tardy when appropriate and were largely flexible with students who arrived one or two minutes late to class.The Student Govern-ment Association at Deane Bozeman School held an organized walkout event and student-led discussion about school safety and inclusion for those who wanted to participate.FREEPORTMan burned in boat explosionA Freeport man was taken to a burn center after he suffered firstand second-degree burns in an explosion on his boat Wednesday night.A 911 call just before 8:30 p.m. dispatched Walton County Fire Rescue crews to the Freeport Marina and Yacht Club, according to a news release from Walton County Fire Rescue.When firefighters and paramedics arrived they immediately began treating the boat ownerÂs burns. The man said he was siphoning gasoline out of a generator that was still hot on his boat, which was tied up to a channel marker in the middle of LaGrange Bayou. He spilled some gas down the front of his legs and onto the hot generator, which caused the explosion. The man said he tried to retrieve a fire extinguisher but quickly realized the blaze was too much for him to handle. He managed to escape through the boatÂs scuttle hatch and was taken to land by a kayaker, the news release said.The unidentified man was taken by medical heli-copter to a burn center.A flag was placed over the sunken boat to warn boaters of the wreckage. GateHouse Media staff reportsAREA BRIEFS By Adriana Gomez Licon The Associated PressMIAMI Â„ A pedestrian bridge being built across an eight-lane highway collapsed at a Miamiarea college Thursday, crushing eight vehicles under massive slabs and killing multiple people, authorities said.Search and rescue mis-sions were underway. Eight people were taken to hospitals. The number of fatali-ties was not immediately known.ÂThe main focus is to rescue people,ÂŽ said Miami-Dade Police Director Juan Perez. ÂAs soon as those efforts are over, our homicide bureau will take the lead.ÂŽThe main companies behind the bridgeÂs construction have faced questions about their work and one of the com-panies was fined in 2012 when a 90-ton section of a bridge collapsed in Virginia.In Miami, the 950ton, 174-foot span was assembled by the side of the highway and moved into place Saturday to great fanfare. The $14.2 million bridge connected Florida International University and the city of Sweetwater. It was expected to open to foot traffic next year.ÂWe are shocked and saddened about the tragic events unfolding at the FIU-Sweetwater pedestrian bridge. At this time we are still involved in rescue efforts and gathering information,ÂŽ the school said in a statement.The National Transportation Safety Board sent investigators to the scene. Gov. Rick Scott said he was headed there as well.ÂWe have a national tragedy on our hands,ÂŽ Sweetwater Mayor Orlando Lopez said.The Âaccelerated bridge constructionÂŽ method was supposed to reduce risks to workers and pedestrians and minimize traffic disrup-tion, the university said.ÂFIU is about building bridges and student safety. This project accomplishes our mission beautifully,ÂŽ FIU President Mark B. Rosenberg said in the statement Saturday.Cristina Rodriguez, a 23-year-old junior who was on Spring Break with other students, said she was not surprised when she heard the bridge collapsed.ÂI just felt the bridge was done too quickly to believe the bridge was stable and sound to support everything that was on there,ÂŽ said Rodriguez, who was not on campus Thursday but drives through the inter-section almost daily.MCM, the Miamibased construction management firm that won the bridge contract, took its website down on Thursday. But an archived version of the website featured a news release touting the project with FIGG Bridge Engineers, Âa nationally acclaimed, award-winning firm based out of Tallahassee.ÂŽÂMultipleÂ fatalities when bridge collapses onto vehicles Emergency personnel respond after a brand-new pedestrian bridge collapsed onto a highway at Florida International University in Miami on Thursday, March 15, 2018.

ÂWhile we believe we provided appro-priate care, we know this has been a profoundly dif-ficult time for this family, and our hearts go out to them.ÂŽBob Kerrigan, who represented the Rices at trial, said the couple was satisfied with the juryÂs decisions. He said that whatever the outcome might have been, the couplewanted their story told and hoped bringing the case to trial would have a larger impact on the way society responds to similar incidents.ÂThe family is hopeful nobody will have to go through this again,ÂŽ Kerrigan said. ÂWeÂd like to think some good will come out of this.ÂŽAccording to the court records, the lawsuit stems from Oct. 17, 2013, at about 3:50 a.m. when Jamie Rice went into labor. The couple called the hospital to put staff on notice that they would be arriving in about 30 minutes.ÂIn actuality, the trip took 25 minutes,ÂŽ the lawsuit stated. ÂDespite this notice to the employ-ees and agents of Gulf Coast Regional Âƒ (no physicians) saw Mrs. Rice for approximately one hour after her arrival at the labor and delivery department.ÂŽA fetal monitor was placed on the unborn baby as contraction persisted through 4:41 a.m. and the Âmonitor tracings showed persistent and progressively severe, late decelerations,ÂŽ the lawsuit stated.Shortly afterward, the monitor began to show a ÂcrashÂŽ in vitals and even-tually a total loss of fetal heart tracings. Medical staff delivered the stillborn infant at 5 a.m., the lawsuit stated.The Rices argued before a jury that the hospitalÂs lack of urgency fell below the standards for professional care and amounted to neg-ligence. They said not only did they suffer physical injury but also the mental pain of losing their baby.ÂAs a result of breach in the standards of care by Gulf Coast Regional of the duties owed to Mrs. Rice, she and her baby were negligently evaluated, and treated, and as a consequence the baby was stillborn,ÂŽ the lawsuit stated.The Rices had named the OBGYN physician as a defendant in the lawsuit, but the jury found that only the hospital acted negligently in the case. Jurors then found that the amount of current and future damages amounted to $800,000. LAWSUITFrom Page B1 a car,Â ÂŽ she said. ÂDonÂt get behind the wheel of a car with somebody thatÂs been drinking. DonÂt get behind the wheel of a car if youÂve been drinking.ÂŽEarlier this year, a survey conducted by AAA showed 87 percent of teenagers believe their peers are more likely to drive while under the influence of drugs or alcohol instead of calling a parent for help, and 23 per-cent admitted to riding in a car with a driver they knew was impaired. More than 10,000 people are killed from alcohol-related car accidents every year.ÂIf one life is saved here because of the entrance of these people, itÂs well worth it,ÂŽ said Bay High Principal Billy May. ÂDonÂt let this happen to you or your loved ones. ... Life is just too short.ÂŽDingus coordinated the event with the help of Bay County EMT Pete Russ. Russ has been a regular volunteer in the Health Sci-ence department since the program began, and was able to use his contacts in the emergency response field to garner participation from local teams.ÂIt touched me more than I thought it would,ÂŽ 18-year-old Rylee Rans-burgh, a senior at Bay High School, said of the demonstration. As the actors playing the victimsÂ parents came onto the scene, she couldnÂt help but think of how her own parents would feel if they found her in the same situation.ÂIt was really sad,ÂŽ she said. ÂI love my mom and IÂm really dear to her.ÂŽAlejandra Rodriguez, 17, agreed. ÂI saw myself there.ÂŽ PROMFrom Page B1She said the school was on the half-cent sales tax project list years ago, but was Âbumped and bumped and bumped.ÂŽÂWe take for granted, but children pay attention,ÂŽ she said. ÂNo matter where you come from or where you live, you always want better.ÂŽRivers appealed to district Director of Ele-mentary Services Denise Kelley and Teacher and Administrator Appraisal Systems Coordinator Dawn Capes, who she said advocated for the renovations to Leon Walters, the districtÂs Facilities Director.ÂHe was on board, and the district worked out, with the support of him, to take on the project,ÂŽ Rivers said. In addition to the new lighting and carpets, a new air conditioning unit and vent was put in each room to help with mold issues, the outside of the classrooms were painted and even the drainage was fixed to prevent flooding. For Rivers, the changes are a sign to students that their teachers care about them, the district cares about them, and the community cares about them.ÂEveryone wants to see something new,ÂŽ she said. ÂPeople care enough to invest in them and their future.ÂŽNow, though, comes the hard part Â„ deciding which teachers will move into the new rooms. Rivers said sheÂs had some teachers and students come and check them out, and while she hasnÂt made a final deci-sion, itÂs likely that the rooms will go to fifth graders and the teachers will move in over Spring Break next week.

Harp DEAR ABBY: This is the 37th anniversary of when I met and fell in love with a beautiful young woman in Iowa. We were together less than a year before she decided to pursue her dreams in California. When she left, it broke my heart for years. To this day I still feel the loss. In the years that followed, our paths crossed a few more times. Because I was recently married then, I told my old friend and lover I needed to close the book on our relationship. Saying it ripped my heart out because I knew it would cause me to lose her forever, but we both respected it. After a divorce many years later, I started looking for her, to no avail. An urgency has overcome me now because I have been diagnosed with cancer and I'm not sure what my future holds. I don't want to rekindle something I can't finish, but I would like to say goodbye one last time before I'm laid to my eternal rest. Should I continue searching for her or should I stop, hoping she hears my prayers after all these years and knowing I tried to do the right thing by her when I smiled and waved as she drove away so long ago? Â„ UNSURE OF MY FUTUREDEAR UNSURE: Please accept my sympathy for your diagnosis. I'm sure most women would be touched to hear they were the love of someone's life, even if that love was unrequited. Remember, that decision was made many years ago. What if you find her and she's married with children? Would it make you feel better or worse? These days, many cancers are treatable/curable. If you should find her and you are not terminal, will it give you closure or more heartache? Only you can answer that.DEAR ABBY: My ex-wife and I have a 5-year-old son, "Ricky." Each year it's becoming more of a disagreement how to handle details for his birthday party. She believes that, in addition to inviting his closest friends, we need to invite every child in his school's class. Ricky is in kindergarten and there are 18 children in his class. She says we can't risk hurting any potential uninvited classmates (and thereby their parents). My thinking is it's our son's special day and he should have only the people there he wants most. Where do you sit on this issue? And if you agree with my wife, how old will our son be when this is no longer in effect? Â„ KEEPING THE PEACE IN FLORIDADEAR KEEPING THE PEACE: I do not agree with your wife. If your son would be inviting all but a few of his classmates, then I can see that there might be hurt feelings. But if the number of guests is limited to say, six, I don't think that would be the case. Fear of offending the parents of the uninvited two-thirds of his class should not enter into the decision. This would also ensure that your son is not snowed under by an avalanche of gifts.HOROSCOPES BY HOLIDAY MATHIS TRIVIA BY WILSON CASEY ACES ON BRIDGE: BOBBY WOLFF SUDOKUAnswer to yesterdayÂs sudoku Jeanne PhillipsWORD SCRIMMAGE: JUDD HAMBRICK Wilson CaseyLevel of difÂ“ culty (Bronze easy, Silver medium, Gold -difÂ“ cult): Monday Bronze; Tuesday Silver; Wednesday Gold; Thursday Bronze; Friday Silver; Saturday and Sunday Gold.DEAR ABBYCancer prompts search for lifeÂs lost loveARIES (March 21-April 19) Â„ It may seem radical to you to think about what's in it for you Â“ rst and then decide if giving makes sense.

By contrast, the Lady Eagles entered 9-19-1, 0-2 in the conference having been swept on Tuesday by Pensacola.In that regard it was mis-sion accomplished for the Lady Commodores, who helped christen their new Joe Tom King Field in conference play with 11-2 and 8-3 triumphs.The results enabled Gulf Coast to tie unbeaten Chipola (30-0) at 2-0 in the conference while improving to 31-1.

Once Chandler Sparkman socked a two-run double to open a 6-2 bulge in the fifth inning the sweep wasnÂt in danger.Sparkman also cemented the triumph as the fourth Lady CommodoresÂ pitcher when the Lady Eagles showed some spunk to the finish.It wasnÂt that way in the first game as Gulf Coast broke it open with six runs in the second inning.

Ashley Troutman had a big night in defeat for Arnold, going 3 for 3 with a walk, a double, an RBI, and three runs, while Ashley Allgood also went 3 for 4 with a double and an RBI. Courtney Boobyer was 2 for 3 with an RBI for Bozeman.Troutman singled and scored on an RBI single by Allgood in the top of the first inning to give the Marlins the early lead, though the Bucks answered right back with three runs in their half, including a two-RBI double down the third base line by Hurst. Arnold scratched a run out in the third and tied it up 3-3 in the fourth thanks to an RBI groundout by Jillian Thompson. An RBI sac-rifice fly to right field by Egge allowed Troutman to tag up and score easily from third to put Arnold in front 5-4 in the fifth.After a one-out error allowed Batton to reach in the bottom of the fifth, Hurst came up and teased the Bozeman fans with two consecutive bombs to left field that just sailed foul over the fence. Hurst straight-ened up the next offering and crushed it well over the left field fence to put the Bucks up 5-4. An RBI single by Courtney Boobyer brought Brianna Harper in to give the Bucks an extra run for insurance.Arnold got a run back in the sixth when Trout-man scalded a pitch into the left centerfield gap for an RBI double to score Jada Arseneaux to trim the deficit to one. Allgood very nearly tied the game in the top of the seventh when she smoked a pitch deep to left field that hit right off of the top of the wall for a lead-off double.The next play was a source of controversy in the Arnold dugout, as Egge hit a high fly ball to right field that resulted in Allgood tagging up from second and heading for third base.

** The News Herald | Friday, March 16, 2018 C3 NCAA TOURNAMENT ROUND OF 64A look at ThursdayÂs Â“ rst-round games ThursdayÂs bestUpset special: Donte IngramÂs long-distance 3-pointer from around the March Madness logo provided the Â“ rst big upset of the tournament.Number to know33: Years between NCAA Tournament victories for Loyola-Chicago.In the spotlightTOURNEY GLUE GUYS RAWLE ALKINS, Arizona: The 6-foot-5 guard is third on the team at 13.4 points per game, to go with 4.8 rebounds, 2.4 assists and 1.2 steals. HeÂs also the WildcatsÂ energy-boosting leader. ÂYou have Rawle that brings a toughness to our team that separates maybe us from some others,ÂŽ coach Sean Miller said. THEO PINSON, North Carolina: The 6-foot-6 seniorÂs value goes well beyond stats. HeÂs a playmaker who can alter a game even without putting up many points. PinsonÂs passing is key to making UNCÂs small-ball offense work considering the Tar Heels have four good outside shooters around him, which opens lanes for him to Â“ nish near the rim. KHRYRI THOMAS, Creighton: The 6-3 guardÂs athletic play has drawn the eye of NBA scouts. Second on the Bluejays in scoring (15.3 points), Thomas can change a game on the defensive end alone. HeÂs the twotime Big East Defensive Player of the Year. ISAIAH WILKINS and JACK SALT, Virginia: Arguably a glue-guy combo on the No. 1 team in the country. Wilkins is the best defender and rebounder on the best defensive team in the country. Salt does dirty work at both ends, sets screens, protects the rim and taps the ball out for teammates to get rebounds.The Associated Press One to watch todaySOUTH REGION: No. 9 seed Florida State (20-11) vs. No. 8 seed Missouri (20-12) Bottom line: ItÂs a battle of Power Five conference teams squaring off with Missouri coach Cuonzo MartinÂs eighth-seeded Tigers making their NCAA Tournament debut in his Â“ rst season after tying for fourth in the Southeastern Conference. No. 9 seed Florida State has won its past three NCAA Tournament openers. These Seminoles come in having lost three of their last four, including their lone game at the Atlantic Coast Conference Tournament. Rhode Island 83, Oklahoma 78 (OT): E.C. Matthews hit the go-ahead 3-pointer in overtime and one more that sealed it to help Rhode Island hold off dynamic scorer Trae Young and Oklahoma. The 10thseeded Sooners (18-14) late-season fade ended with a thud when Young failed to carry them as he had so many times this season. The phenomenal freshman led the nation with averages of 27.4 points and 8.8 assists. He scored 28 points on 9 of 18 shooting with six turnovers. Duke 89, Iona 67: Marvin Bagley III dominated in his NCAA Tournament debut, pouring in 22 points to go with seven rebounds as Duke rolled by Iona. The ACC Player of the Year made 10 of 14 shots in 32 minutes, grabbed seven rebounds and knocked down his lone 3-point attempt as the second-seeded Blue Devils overwhelmed the 15th-seeded Gaels. Kansas 76, Penn 60: Devonte Graham ignited sluggish Kansas midway through the Â“ rst half, pouring in 29 points and lifted the top-seeded Jayhawks to a tough, grind-it-out victory over No. 16 Pennsylvania. The Jayhawks (28-7) trailed the Ivy League champs by 10 in the early stages before going on a 19-2 run late in the Â“ rst half to take control. Seton Hall 94, N.C. State 83: Khadeen Carrington scored 26 points, Desi Rodriguez added 20 and eighth-seeded Seton Hall beat North Carolina State in a foul-Â“ lled Â“ rst-round matchup. Myles Powell added 19 points for the Pirates (22-11).Midwest RegionGonzaga 68, UNC-Greensboro 64: Zach Norvell Jr. hit the go-ahead 3-pointer with 20.8 seconds left to help Gonzaga escape a major scare from UNC-Greensboro. The fourth-seeded Bulldogs (31-4) trailed 64-62 with 1:48 left after squandering a 12-point lead they took early in the second half. Josh Perkins tied the game at 64, and after GreensboroÂs Francis Alonso forced up a miss, Gonzaga got the rebound and worked the ball to Norvell, a redshirt freshman, who spotted up from the right elbow and made the 3 for the lead. Ohio State 81, South Dakota State 73: Kam Williams made a tiebreaking four-point play with 1:36 left, then added a trio of free throws after being fouled on another 3-point attempt, lifting Ohio State to a victory over South Dakota State. Fifth-seeded Ohio State (25-8) built a 13-point lead by reeling off 16 straight points midway through the second half of a game that featured 71 combined 3-pointers. South Dakota State made a late run at the Buckeyes, scoring 10 straight points to tie it at 70-all. Williams answered Â„ by being fouled on a pair of 3-pointers. He Â“ nished off the four-point play for a 74-70 lead and made all three free throws on the second, making it 77-70 with 64 seconds left. Houston 67, San Diego State 65: Rob Gray scored 39 points Â„ the last two on a driving layup with just over one second left Â„ to lift the Cougars to a win over San Diego State in a wild Â“ nish. The teams exchanged 3-pointers in the Â“ nal minute before Gray Â„ who also had 8 rebounds Â„ hit the winner.West RegionVillanova 87, Radford 61: Jalen Brunson scored 16 points and No. 1 seed Villanova hit 14 3-pointers in a romp over Radford in the opening round of the NCAA Tournament The Highlanders (23-13) posed no threat at becoming the Â“ rst 16 seed to ever knock off a No. 1 in the tournament. Villanova (31-4) played to near-perfection for the Â“ rst 30 minutes and everyone played a role. Mikal Bridges had 13 points, Eric Paschall scored 11 and Omari Spellman had 10 points and seven rebounds. The Wildcats play on Saturday against the winner of Virginia Tech-Alabama. Radford, out of rural southwest Virginia, must have felt like it was playing against ace pop-a-shot players. Villanova led 69-37 with 11:45 left and was shooting 75 percent (25 of 34) overall and 60 percent (12 of 20) from 3-point range. Texas Tech 70, Stephen F. Austin 60: Keenan Evans scored 19 of his 23 points after halftime and third-seeded Texas Tech surged late to top Stephen F. Austin. The Big 12 runner-up Red Raiders (25-9) closed the game on a 13-2 run. Evans drove for a layup with 3:58 left, putting Texas Tech ahead to stay. When Evans split through defenders with just over a minute left, he paused brieÂ” y to give a quick pose to the camera under the basket. Evans had only four points in the Â“ rst half, all on free throws while going 0 for 4 from the Â“ eld. Alabama 86, Virginia Tech 83: John Petty scored 20 points and hit a late 3-pointer that helped clinch No. 9 seed AlabamaÂs win over Virginia Tech.East Region South: Buzzer-beater li s Loyola-Chicago over Miami in NCAA returnThe Associated PressDALLAS Â„ Donte Ingram picked the perfect spot for this game-winning shot.Ingram hit a 3-pointer from the March Madness logo just before the buzzer, lifting 11thseeded Loyola-Chicago over Miami 64-62 in a Thursday thriller at the NCAA Tournament.ÂWell, itÂs pretty simple to know why we call it March Mad-ness,ÂŽ said Hurricanes coach Jim Larranaga, left holding his head in stunned disbelief after IngramÂs shot.In 2006, Larranaga took 11th-seeed George Mason to the Final Four. This time, it was LoyolaÂs turn to celebrate after making its first tournament appearance in 33 years.The long shot from well beyond the key came with just a split-second left, and was set up by a pass from Marques Townes. It happened after Lonnie Walker IV missed a free throw with a chance to give Miami a three-point lead with 9 seconds remaining.ÂI thank Marques for making that pass,ÂŽ said Ingram, who was 3 of 8 from 3 and scored 13 points. ÂAny one of us could have hit that shot, but I was just fortunate enough to be in the position.ÂŽThe Ramblers (29-5) matched the school record for wins from their 1963 national championship team in their first NCAA trip since losing to Patrick Ewing and Georgetown in the Sweet 16 in 1985. They advanced to face third-seeded Tennessee on Saturday.Loyola, with an 11-game winning streak that is its longest since winning the NCAA title, was boosted by a pregame prayer from its team chaplain, 98-year-old Sister Jean Dolo-res Schmidt. SheÂs held that post for more than two decades and, sitting courtside in her wheelchair, got hugs from the Ramblers when it was over. ÂI just gave a big sigh of relief and said, ÂThank God,ÂŽÂ she told The Associated Press about IngramÂs shot. The sixth-seeded Hurricanes (22-10) led most of the second half in their third straight trip to the tournament, but couldnÂt pull away in the final minutes and lost in the first round for the second straight year.The buzzer sounded as IngramÂs shot went in, and the Ramblers celebrated wildly in front of the raucous fans wear-ing maroon-and-gold scarfs in the American Airlines Center sections across from their bench.But officials put 0.3 seconds back on the clock, forcing Loyola to gather on the bench and post-poning the celebration until after a desperation full-court pass bounced away harmlessly.Tennessee 73, Wright State 47: Admiral Schofield had 15 points and 12 rebounds as Ten-nessee advanced to the second round of the NCAA Tournament with a win over Wright State with coach Rick Barnes back in familiar territory Thursday.Lamonte Turner had 19 points and a career-high nine assists for Tennessee (26-8), SEC co-champions in the regular season after being picked in the preseason to finish 13th in the 14-team league. Grant Williams added 14 points and nine rebounds.Kentucky 78, Davidson 73: Kentucky topped Davidson despite failing to make a single 3-pointer, snapping a nationbest streak of 1,047 games with a 3 that began in 1988. The fifth-seeded Wildcats went 0 for 6 from behind the line and didnÂt even try one over the final 8:46.Ramblers keep ramblinÂLoyola-Chicago guard Donte Ingram (0) and Marques Townes (right) celebrate their 64-62 win over Miami in a Â“ rst-round game at the NCAA Tournament Thursday in Dallas. [TONY GUTIERREZ/THE ASSOCIATED PRESS] By Aaron BeardThe Associated PressCHARLOTTE, N.C. Â„ Andrew Fleming has all of 1 minute of March Mad-ness playing experience in his career, coming late in a lopsided loss at another school.Yet on this Lipscomb team Â„ and for a handful of teams playing opening-round games around the country Friday Â„ he qual-ifies as a grizzled NCAA Tournament veteran.Cal State Fullerton, College of Charleston, Marshall, Murray State and UMBC are in the same position. ThereÂs practically no NCAA experience on the roster and each are led by men who are in the tournament for the first time as a head coach.That can make handling a big moment on this stage a challenge.ÂIÂve been telling guys just to enjoy it,ÂŽ said Fleming, who saw mop-up duty in IowaÂs second-round loss to eventual 2016 champion Villanova. ÂItÂs just a lot of fun. WeÂre going to be competing at the highest level right now.ÂŽIndeed. The 15th-seeded Bisons (23-9) play their first-ever NCAA game against reigning national champion North Carolina in the secondseeded Tar HeelsÂ home state.The attention on the gap between high-seeded perennial powers and the lower-seeded upstarts usually focuses on the obvious:The number of NBA prospects. The bigger front lines. The speed and length on the wing.Yet thereÂs more to it for players who are also making their NCAA Tour-nament debut.ItÂs dealing with the buzz that reverberates around campus from earning a spot in the field of 68. ItÂs getting to often bigger venues and then taking everything in while going through light prac-tices that are open to the public.ThereÂs the rush of extra media attention and interviews leading up to the game Â„ and of course, playing win-or-go-home games at the time of year when even casual college basketball fans are closely watching.Cal State Fullerton coach Dedrique Taylor leads the 15th-seeded Titans (20-11) against No. 2 seed Purdue in the East Region in Detroit, mark-ing only the third program appearance (1978 and 2008 were the others) in the tournament. Taylor figures only so much can be done to keep inexperi-enced players from feeling overwhelmed.ÂI donÂt know if itÂs pre-ventable,ÂŽ Taylor said. ÂI think more than anything we embrace it. WeÂve worked hard for this.ÂŽLipscomb part of group looking to overcome NCAA inexperience

Bozeman, Mosley claim county track titles By Doug FergusonThe Associated PressORLANDO, Fla. Â„ Henrik Stenson had a hot putter, a much quieter crowd and a one-shot lead in the Arnold Palmer Invitational.One week after Stenson returned from his winter break and spent two days with Tiger Woods and his raucous crowds, he made birdie on half of the holes at Bay Hill for an 8-under 64, his lowest round ever on the course the King built.PGA Tour rookies Aaron Wise and Talor Gooch each had 65. Wise missed a 6-foot birdie putt on the final hole.Woods again brought out big crowds in the unseasonable chill Thursday morning and gave them quite a show. He hit a tee shot that was out-of-bounds by inches. He atoned for that with a 70-foot birdie putt. And he wound up with a 68, his best opening round since he returned this year from a fourth back surgery.ÂI feel like IÂm not really thinking as much around the golf course,ÂŽ Woods said. ÂI can just see and feel it and go.ÂŽEach week is a little better for Woods, and Stenson saw the progress last week. The 41-year-old Swede typically takes a month off between the Middle East swing and the Florida swing, and he returned last week to a grouping of Woods and Jordan Spieth. That didnÂt bother him as much as his poor putting.Bay Hill provided a change in both areas.ÂItÂs great to see him back competing, but it was a little loud out there last week,ÂŽ Stenson said. ÂBut that comes with the excitement of having him back and seeing him play well, so I thought it was great. ... I guess itÂs nice to get a little bit of a breather at times, though.ÂŽIt really helps to be putting well, especially on pure greens at Bay Hill that already had a yellow hue to them. He spent the weekend at home in Orlando working with Phil Kenyon, his putting coach, and it seemed to help. Stenson took only 20 putts, tying his personal best for fewest putts in a round on the PGA Tour.He ran off five straight birdies around the turn, and he followed his lone bogey at the par-3 14th with two birdies and a 10-foot par save.Woods had no complaints, and about the only thing that went wrong Â„ except for the tee shot on No. 3 that went OB Â„ was his prediction before he left Bay Hill. He was happy with anything in the 60s and said, ÂThere wonÂt be a lot of rounds out there that will be in the 60s. The golf course is playing difficult.ÂŽ There were 13 more rounds in the 60s in the afternoon, including Ernie Els and Rory McIlroy at 69.Only one of them was pleased with it. Els, who has gone more than a year since his last finish in the top 30, dropped only one shot, on the opening hole. McIlroy had five birdies through 10 holes and then hit out-of-bounds on the 18th hole for a double bogey.Coming off a runnerup finish at the Valspar Championship that raised expectations of a victory being closer than ever, Woods started and finished strong, with one mishap in the middle.Stenson leads at Bay Hill, Woods o to strong startTiger Woods reacts after missing a putt for birdie on the 18th green during the Â“ rst round of the Arnold Palmer Invitational, Thursday in Orlando. [PHELAN M. EBENHACK/THE ASSOCIATED PRESS] By Ronald BlumThe Associated PressNEW YORK Â„ Chicago, the home of the U.S. Soccer Federation, dropped out of the North American bid to host the 2026 World Cup as 23 cities were chosen to be includ ed in documents to be submitted to FIFA on Friday.Minneapolis also quit because of FIFAÂs demands. Vancouver, British Columbia, said its bid was rejected because it refused to comply with FIFAÂs requirements that include tax waivers and putting agreements under Swiss law. Fix other U.S. cities were cut: Charlotte, North Carolina; Glendale, Arizona; Las Vegas; Salt Lake City; and Tampa, Florida.Sixty games would be played in the U.S. under the bid plan, including all from the quarterfinals on. Three cities were included from Mexico and Canada, and each of those nations would host 10 games.Morocco also is bidding, and the 207 other FIFA members are scheduled to make the decision at FIFA Congress in Moscow on June 13. The 2026 World Cup will be the first with a 48-nation field, and if chosen the North American bid intends to ask FIFA to choose 16 venues for the tournament.The chosen U.S. cities are Arlington, Texas; Atlanta; Baltimore; Cincinnati; Denver; East Rutherford, New Jersey; Foxborough, Massachusetts; Houston; Inglewood or Pasadena, Cali-fornia; Kansas City, Missouri; Landover, Maryland; Miami; Nashville, Tennessee; Orlando, Florida; Philadel-phia; Santa Clara, California; and Seattle.The Canadian cities are Edmonton, Alberta; Montreal; and Toronto; and MexicoÂs are Guadalajara; Mexico City; and Monterrey.Only two of the venues hosted games during the 1994 World Cup: the Rose Bowl in Pasadena and the Citrus Bowl in Orlando.Though U.S. President Donald Trump disparaged Africa and Haiti in remarks in January, the North Ameri-can organizers say they are confident they will get suffi-cient votes. New U.S. Soccer Federation President Carlos Cordeiro intends to address bid campaign plans with media next week.Evidence introduced in U.S. District Court last year during the trial of former soccer exec-utives documented bribes paid ahead of the 2010 vote by the FIFA executive com-mittee that awarded the 2022 World Cup hosting rights to Qatar over the U.S. The vote for 2026 will be by the entire FIFA Congress rather than the roughly two dozen members of the executive committee, which chose the hosts from 1986 -2022.ÂThe FIFA president has made very clear this will be the most transparent bid pro-cess ever, including a public vote amongst the Congress in Moscow,ÂŽ John Kristick, the North American bid director, said Thursday.Chicago drops out of bid for World Cup, criticizes FIFAThe Associated PressINDIANAPOLIS Â„ Toron-toÂs DeMar DeRozan figured out how to beat Indiana at its own game.He sped things up and eventually, the Pacers wore down.DeRozan scored 16 of his 24 points in the second half, Jonas Valanciunas finished with 16 points and 17 rebounds and the Raptors used a 16-4 fourth-quarter run to get past Indiana 106-99 on Thursday night for their 10th consecutive win.ÂWhen things arenÂt going our way, we donÂt let the adversity get to us,ÂŽ DeRozan said. ÂOnce we got the lead, we understand when to push the ball, how to push the ball, get stops, get the momentum. We understand the small things that occur in a game and we try to use that to our advantage.ÂŽ Did they ever.The leagueÂs hottest team and the Eastern ConferenceÂs No. 1 seed has won 17 of 18 and moved within one win of tying the franchise record for most consecutive victo-ries, set in January 2016.But unlike so many other wins during the impressive stretch, this one required everything Toronto could muster at the end of a three-game road trip.The Raptors wound up with a 58-35 rebounding edge, thanks largely to Valan-ciunas and Serge Ibaka, who had 13 points and 11 rebounds.Former Pacers starter C.J. Miles made three 3-pointers in TorontoÂs decisive stretch after the Raptors trailed most of the game.And, as usual, DeRozan, led the charge by shooting 8 of 15 from the field, finishing with seven assists and demon-strating the kind of toughness coach Dwane Casey thought was missing the last time the Raptors were in town.ÂTo be successful in this league, you have to have grit,ÂŽ Casey said. ÂThatÂs something our guys have developed. As long as we have that grit and together-ness, weÂll be OK.ÂŽFor the Pacers, it was a bitter loss.Despite getting 22 points from Darren Collison and a season-high 20 from Al Jef-ferson and leading most of the game, they couldnÂt put it away.The result: IndianaÂs three-game winning streak is over and its small lead in the Central Division also might be gone.ÂWe didnÂt keep our heads, kind of got emotion-ally drunk out there and gave up some easy baskets and some fouls,ÂŽ Indiana coach Nate McMillan said, referring to the fourth quarter. ÂYou have to remain solid in close games like that.ÂŽROCKETS 101, CLIPPERS 96: James Harden scored 24 points, Eric Gordon added 23 and the Houston Rockets outlasted the Los Angeles Clippers for a 101-96 victory on Thursday night. The Clippers scored six straight points, with four from Austin Rivers, to cut the lead to a basket with less than a minute left. But on the next possession, Harden stepped back and knocked down a long 2-pointer with Rivers in his face to make it 100-96. Rivers missed a 3-pointer after that before Harden made one of two free throws with 6.2 seconds left to secure the victory. ItÂs HoustonÂs third straight win and snaps a three-game winning streak for the Clippers. Tobias Harris led the Clippers with 29 points and Rivers had 20. SPURS 98, PELICANS 93: LaMarcus Aldridge scored 25 points, Dejounte Murray had 18 points and 12 rebounds, and the San Antonio Spurs overcame another late rally to beat the New Orleans Pelicans 98-93 on Thursday night. New Orleans was playing hours after learning Pelicans owner Tom Benson had died. Benson was hospitalized with the Â” u on Feb. 16 and never recovered. The 90-year-old native of San Antonio owned both the Pelicans and the Saints. Anthony Davis Â“ nished with 21 points and 14 rebounds, but fouled out after playing 36 minutes.

The tradition continues with the 19th annual James McVeigh Sr. St. PatrickÂs DayMarch, named after the late longtime St. Andrews resident of Irish descent who started the annual celebration. The sidewalk march,led by the Panama City Pipes & Drums, heads from Villa Gateway Park on Bayview down Beck Avenue at 5 p.m. Laura Kerr, TCRG Â„ a certifiedIrishdance instructorand champion Irish dancer, will play bagpipeswith the Panama City Pipes & Drums andmarch with her students from Drake School of Irish Dance. ÂI fell in love with dancing and wanted to be part of the Scottish band,ÂŽsaid Kerr, 26, who opened her school in November. ÂI lived in the U.K. the last seven years, touring and dancing, and received certification. My mom is from Scotland, so I started doing Scottish dance and then started Irish dancing later. I grew up with my dad in the military. He did Navy training here.ÂŽ Students from Drake School of Irish Dance will perform traditional Irish dance at AliceÂs on Bayview following SaturdayÂs march. ÂThere will be 12 dancers, ages 6 to 15,ÂŽ said Kerr, who has been dancing for 20 years. (She teaches classes Tuesdays and Thursdays at Roberts Hall in Lynn Haven.) The St. Andrews festivities have stretched into aday-long celebration, with an Irishtheme and musicincorporated into SaturdayÂs St. Andrews Farmers Market, which opens at 8 a.m. at SmithÂs YachtBasin next to the Shrimp Boat Restaurant.From 11 a.m. to 1 p.m., BenniganÂs will serve corned beef, cabbage and red potatoes at the market. (The restaurant in the Panama City Mall also will host specials and contests from open to close Saturday.) The Shack Puband Grub will serve traditional St. PatrickÂs Day fare at the farmers market, including ShepherdÂs Pie and corned beef and cabbage, beforemoving the mobile food trailer in front of thePanama City Publishing Museumfor the afternoon. ÂAt the Publishing Museum, I will have my larger set up, which will include all the Irish-inspired dishes along with ribeye steak sandwiches, smoked sausage sandwiches, and Flame Grill New Orleansstyle BBQ chicken,ÂŽ said Jennifer Striowski, owner of Shack Pub and Grub. Robbie Fehrenbach, vice president of the board forthe Historic St. Andrews Waterfront Partnership, whichruns the museum, added, ÂWeÂll have ginger beer, nonalcoholic, and food tents, and tables and chairs for people to sit down and enjoy their food.ÂŽ The Historic St. Andrews Waterfront Partnershipalso is bringing back theSt. PatrickÂs Day Pub Crawl on Saturday for the second year to benefit the museumÂs preservation and operations.St. PatrickÂs Day marches into St. AndrewsSt. Patrick's Day Pub CrawlWhat: Second annual pub crawl presented by the Historic St. Andrews Waterfront Partnership When: 5:30 p.m. Saturday, March 17 Where: Bayview and Beck avenues and the Little Village on 12th Street in Historic St. Andrews Passports: $5 donation at The Panama City Publishing Museum, 1134 Beck Ave., Panama City Details: 850-872-7208 or market@historicstandrews.com Paraders walk down the street during the annual St. PatrickÂs Day parade in Historic St. Andrews in March 2013.

| Friday, March 16, 2018 E7ÂIt turned out beyond any measurement Â„ far beyond our expectations,ÂŽ Fehrenbach said. ÂLast year, we printed 50 passports and had to print 600 more. We were literally out scrambling for paper. We print here on old letter pieces. Whenever we do things, we try to incorporate the museum, print shop and history of community.ÂŽ This year, 700 passports were printed for the Pub Crawl. Passports are available for $5 at the museum, 1134 Beck Ave. Each passport book is filled with a schedule of the dayÂs events in St. Andrews, maps, and tear-out coupons for green beer and drawings at participating St. Andrews businesses. ÂThe passport is good to use all day, and you can give to someone else to finish,ÂŽ said Michelle Price, museum director. Anyone who buys a passport also is entered into a drawing for a $200 Yeti ÂCooler of Cheer,ÂŽ Fehrenbach said. The cooler, donated by Sunjammers, is being filled with donations from area businesses of everything from Irish whiskey and Patron to Guinness Â„expected to be nearly $500 in total value. To increase their luck, passport holders may add their name to the grand prize drawing more than once at $1 for every additional entry. The passport book also featuresinformation on the newly added scavenger hunt, but apassport is not necessary to participate in the hunt.Information on the scavenger hunt will be at the publishing museum and at the market Saturday morning. Beginning at 10 a.m., getclues inside Sunjammers, Little Village, Floriopolis, Estate Treasures, Native Spirit, the Publishing Museum, Swangke, Two Sisters and Destination Panama City. ÂThe scavengerhunt is involving as many merchants as possible and 850 rocks in St. Andrews Â„ just to see St. Andrews is a treasure itself,ÂŽ said Fehrenbach, who ran St. Andrews Coffee House for 17 years. ÂWhen you involve a business in St. Andrews, you involve the whole community.ÂŽ Bay Co Rocks and 850 Rocks will be hiding St. PatrickÂs Day-themed painted rocks throughout the St. Andrews area. If you find a rock, keep it or rehide it, but if youfind the special rock featuring a leprechaun holding a pot of gold at the end of a rainbow, bring it to the museumfor a prize. To learn more about local history, the Historic St. Andrews Partnership will present a walking tour at 10 a.m. Saturday morning from the museum. ÂIt will be about an hour, extremely informative tour; itÂs stories,ÂŽ said Fehrenbach, who has lived in the area for 30 years. ÂSt. Andrews issuch a beautiful place to walk.ÂŽ Beverly Walterson, chairman of the board for the Historic St. Andrews Waterfront Partnership, moved to the area just 3 anda half years ago from Tampa, but immediately was drawn to St. Andrews. ÂI visited the area and just knew enough of the area and people to know it was where we wanted to be,ÂŽ Walterson said.ÂOur St. Andrews community as a whole is family. Everybody works together. We all want to work together for the betterment of St. Andrews. ... St. Andrews is bigger than Beck Avenue.ÂŽ The dayÂs activities will stretch from Little Village on 12th Streetdown Beck Avenue and Bayview. Villa Gateway Park next to Uncle ErnieÂs will spread a little more cheer at 4:30 p.m. Saturday with adult pinatas. ÂWeÂll have a shamrock pinata full of little bottles of alcohol,ÂŽsaid Fehrenbach, who added a small monetary donation will be accepted before each adult takes a hit atthe pinata. ÂItÂs the Irish enthusiasm; weÂre a clan, a community. When thereÂs something like that out there; everybody comes together.ÂŽ And itÂs not just the businesses and residents, but St. Andrews churchesalso are getting involved in the spirit of St. PatrickÂs Day. St. Andrews Presbyterian, 3007 W. 14th St., is hosting live music from the Grand Junction Band at 6 p.m. Saturday followed by an Irish themed covered dish dinner and desserts in the churchÂs fellowship hallwith a $10suggested donation per person.

| Friday, March 16, 2018 E9By Ernie Hall | Special to The News HeraldPANAMA CITY Â„ It would not be St. PatrickÂs Day without a great ShepherdÂs Pie. And, of course, here at Just The Cook, we have to make it our own! A quick internet search and youÂll find 10 different variations of this delectable dish on every page. They all vary based on region, heritage or simply what was available in the pantry at that time. So in keeping with the area and fresh ingredients available to use here in St. Andrews, we definitely use rosemary in our lamb seasoning; and in keeping with my familyÂs heritage, we are using my MommaÂs Burnwell Kentucky Mashed Potatoes recipe. ShepherdÂs Pie with Burnwell Kentucky Mashed Potatoes 2 teaspoons vegetable oil 2 pounds of ground lamb, (you can substitute for Beef, but go with a low fat content) 1 large onion, grated 1 large carrot, grated 4 garlic cloves, grated 1 serrano pepper, grated 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce 1 tablespoons tomato paste (plain) 2 tablespoons fresh thyme, chopped 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, chopped 1 cup red wine 1 cup low-sodium chicken stock Salt and Tellicherry pepper to taste Burnwell Kentucky Mashed Potatoes: 2 pounds potatoes (Golden, peeled and cut into chunks) 2 tablespoons HellmannÂs Mayonnaise (more if ya need it!) 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted 8 tablespoons Parmesan cheese, grated Salt and Tellicherry pepper to taste (be careful, as the Parmesan is salty) This recipe will put together real quick, so go ahead and preheat your oven to 350 degrees. Add oil to a large pan on med\high heat; once hot, add lamb or ground beef. Season with salt and Tellicherry pepper. Break up the meat as you fry it. After about 3 minutes, go ahead and add onions, carrots, grated garlic and continue to combine the ingredients. Add Worcestershire sauce, tomato puree, rosemary, thyme and continue to cook for 2-3 minutes more. Add red wine and cook until it has completely reduced. Now add chicken stock and reduce as well. Once reduced, taste, season and rest mixture. Add peeled and chopped potatoes to pot of boiling water. Cook until fork tender, about 13-14 minutes. Once potatoes are done, strain them and return potatoes to the pot. Now, add salt, Tellicherry pepper, butter, mayo, and 6 tablespoons of the Parmesan. Mash until they are done like you like them. Pour the meat mixture into oven-safe dish; spread out evenly. Now evenly cover the meat mixture with mashed potatoes. Sprinkle mashed potatoes with remaining Parmesan. Fluff up potatoes with a fork causing peeks to appear. Bake in the oven for 15-20 minutes. The peaks will brown, just donÂt let them burn! When the dish is bubbling and brown, it is done! Enjoy!Ernie Hall is the owner of Just the Cook, 3151 W. 10th St., Slip 80,at the St. Andrews Marina.

The concert begins at 7:30 p.m. Saturdayat the Marina Civic Center, 8 Harrison Ave., Panama City. The Pops concerts are traditionally a combination of familiar, classical works and popular arrangements. Highlights of the classical program will include Leroy AndersonÂs ÂIrish SuiteÂŽ and Ralph Vaughn Williams' "The Lark Ascending." To honor St. Patrick, the Pops will also host somespecial guests and solo performances: Enen Yu, featured violin soloist; and Celtic band "Mithril." "This will be an evening of beautiful and joyful music transporting you to the Emerald Isle," said Tammala Spencer, president of the organizationÂs Board of Directors. "Our patrons will be treated to elegant classical music as well as traditional Irish jigs, reels and airs to capture the Irish spirit." Yu is concert master for the Northwest Florida Ballet, the Pensacola Opera and Mobile Opera, and co-concert master of the Mobile Symphony Orchestra. A native of China,Yu began playing violin at age 7. In 1998, she graduated from the Central Conservatory of Music in Beijing and became the youngest member of the Beijing Symphony Orchestra. That same year, she accepted the invitation to study at the University of South Carolina, where she earned her masterÂs. She has performed with orchestras nationwide. The unique style of Mithril has its roots in traditional Celtic music. Hailing from Mobile, Ala., four musicians perform on a wide array of instruments, including Irish flute, whistle, fife, Celtic harp (Andra Bohnet), fiddle, nyckelharpa (Tom Morley), guitar (Ben Harper) and percussion (Sam Gaston). "ItÂs so exciting to have a full orchestra as a back-up band," joked Andra Bohnet, Mithril spokeswoman, about their Panama City debut. "This music is nostalgic and visceral. Ittouches people in an immediate and lasting way. And, we think this will be as fun for the orchestra as it is for the audience." As an aside, "Mithril" takes its name from a fictional metal resembling silver but stronger and lighter than steel, as described in author J.R.R. Tolkein's trilogy of fantasy novels, The Lord of the Rings. The seasonÂs final Pops concert is scheduled for May 5. All concerts are performed at the Marina Civic Center and start at 7:30 p.m. Tickets are available at the Marina Civic Center box office, 850-7634696, or at MarinaCivicCenter. com.

E10 Friday, March 16, 2018 | JAM SESSIONSBy Tony Simmons747-5080 | @PCNHTonyS tsimmons@pcnh.comPANAMA CITY Â„ A chance encounter with a karaoke machine many years ago led local entertainment icon Todd Allen Herendeen into a second career that keeps going strong. ÂI worked as a journeyman tool and die maker up in northeast Indiana, I had a journeymanÂs card, I was making good money and didnÂt ever really think of the music business,ÂŽ Herendeen said after playing at the News HeraldÂs Jam Session on March 9. He started joining some buddies forkaraoke night in the 1990s, even though his singing was suspect. In fact, he was cut from the school musical in sixth grade on the grounds that he couldnÂt sing. ÂSister Clara Marie said, ÂTodd, you donÂt have it. I canÂt use you,ÂÂŽ he said. ÂNow that I think about it, I think, ÂYou were a nun. ShouldnÂt you lie to me and tell me how good I am?ÂÂŽ One night in 1995, his buddies signed him up for a talent contest, and he ended up winning it. ÂFrom there, I caught the bug,ÂŽ he added. For a couple of years, he sang at birthday parties and anniversaries. Then the former drummer for The McCoys (ÂHang on SloopyÂŽ) invited him to open a show with Chubbie Checker and other classic rock acts. After the show, theJournal Gazzette in Fort Wayne, Ind., called him a crowd favorite. ÂThat really got me excited and thinking, if the newspaper is writing this, maybe we could have some fun with it,ÂŽ he said. In 1999, Herendeen finally gave up his dayjob and went into music full-time. He moved to Panama City Beach in 2002. His shows tend to include popular songs from Johnny Cash, Elvis Presley, Roy Orbison, Ronnie Milsap and Conway Twitty, complete with costumes and vocal impressions. ÂI think the older music has a lot more feeling than todayÂs music,ÂŽ he said. ÂI think back then they wrote from the heart. They had more meaning.ÂŽ And though heÂs known for his Elvis shows, Herendeen doesnÂt count Elvis as a personal favorite performer. ÂGrowing up, I wasnÂt an Elvis fan,ÂŽ he said, listing instead the music of REO Speedwagon and Steve Miller as his favorites of the time. But later, hearing some of ElvisÂ live performances, he gained a new respect for the singerÂs delivery. ÂI really like Ronnie Millsap. IÂm more into a pure vocalist, like Englebert Humperdink, who had a pure sound about them,ÂŽ he said, adding this about their voices: ÂTheyÂre strong and theyÂre pretty.ÂŽ While he continues to tour with his band, Herendeen also recently opened the Todd Allen Herendeen Dinner Theatre in Panama City Beach. He performs there at least once a week, depending on the season. The location is alsoa pop culture museum, with autographed photos and guitars, a Harley-Davidson motorcycle and other items on display. Before opening the dinner theater, Herendeen investigated the possibility of setting upin Pigeon Forge and Branson, where heÂs performed in the past. However, he said, ÂEverything kept bringing us back to the beach.ÂŽ In addition to his own performance, the dinner theater isbringing in other classic acts, such as the recent appearance of the original Shondelles, formerly the backing band for Tommy James (ÂCrimson and CloverÂŽ).When it comes to his own show, every three to seven days brings a whole new audience that hasnÂt seenhim perform, Herendeen said, but he still works to improve it. As for the future, he said: ÂEvery time I think that IÂve figured out where IÂm going, a year later IÂm going in another direction Â„ and itÂs usually a whole lot better than the way I dreamed it up a year before.ÂŽHerendeenÂs voice keeps it classicNEXT JAM SESSIONWho: Lucky Mud, Americana and folk duo of Mike and Maggie McKinney When: 3 p.m. Friday, March 16 Where: View live online at Facebook.com/PanamaCityNewsHerald; click on the event listing to reserve tickets to attend in-house Podcast and Video: Hear the interivews and see the videos of Jam Session performers at NewsHerald.com Todd Allen Herendeen brought his interpretation of classic songs to the News Herald Jam Session on March 9.

ÂI chose this show because I love audience participation murder mysteries,ÂŽ McAlinden said. ÂIn this particular show, the audience is invited on stage during intermission to look at Âclues,Â and then during the second act there is a 15-minute question and answer portion for the audience members to ask the cast questions to see if they can figure out Âwhodunnit.ÂÂŽ If youÂve everwondered what goes on at a small townÂs city council meeting, then welcome toHendricks, where the officials are looking for a murderer. Mayor Kathleen Lyles boldly announces that the meeting will be more like a coronerÂs jury than the usual round of arguments. Not only was a man murdered, but he was an employee of the IRS. ÂSomehow, I donÂt feel that bad,ÂŽ says prime suspectCarl Johansenas the sheriff clamps the cuffs on him. Slowly, it becomes apparent the entire city council had seen the man, and each of them seems to be hiding something. Though McAlinden is a longtime member of the Kaleidoscope Theatre family, this is her first time leading a production. ÂThis is my directorial debut, and I couldnÂt be more pleased with how fun and funny this show is,ÂŽ she said. ÂIt has taken on a life of its own I could only dream of.ÂŽ Her first time on stage was in 2004, during Gulf CoastState CollegeÂsproduction ofÂThe Secret Garden.ÂŽ She was19 years old.

E14 Friday, March 16, 2018 | By Tony Simmons747-5080 | @PCNHTonyS tsimmons@pcnh.comPANAMA CITY Â„ Dennis Landingham has taken his lifelong love of the Florida Panhandle, its bayous and beaches, its people and wild creatures, and discovered a second career after a lifetimeof working outdoors. His oil paintings will be toasted at a solo exhibit opening with a reception 5-8 p.m. Thursday, March 22, at The Artist Cove studio and gallery, 36 W. Beach Drive. I visited him at the studio last week, as he was working on a painting of Apalachicola Bay oystermen. ÂI took about 1,600 pictures that day,ÂŽ Landingham said of the trip to Apalach. ÂI stayed all day, puttering around, talking to them about oystering. Never put (the boat) on plane. They have a three-bag limit, and they canÂt even make their limit.ÂŽ A native of Bay County,Landingham grew upalong the shores of the Gulf of Mexico. From an early age, fishing was his passion. His family enjoyed many offshore trips catching grouper and snapper. In his early teens, he and his brother worked before school each morning to earn the money to buy their first boat. ÂDaddy took me fishing for speckled trout in the Gulf with a cane pole,ÂŽ the 57-year-old said. ÂHe would buy a pallet of cigar minnows. ... WeÂd typically come back with 300 pounds of fish to sell to Buddy Gandy and MillerÂs in Southport. WeÂd go out through the pass before sunrise and see nothing but the lights on the beach coming back.ÂŽ Landinghamis skilled at throwing a castnet to catch mullet, and ties his own flies for fly fishing. He worked on an offshore shrimp boat, andin college he interned at the National Marine Fisheries. He has caught snook in the Everglades and bone fish in the Florida Keys and Bahamas. Always fascinated by fish, Landingham has also hadexciting experiences underwater spear fishing and taking in the sights of fish in their natural habitat. He has participated in the IFA Redfish tours and won the Florida SportsmansÂ Northwest Florida spin cast and fly casting contest. ÂI cut grass for 23 years,ÂŽ he said, referring to his lawn maintenance business. ÂI was an artist with the weed-eater.ÂŽ Landingham started painting in 2011, the year before he closed his lawn service because of a back injury. His fishing experiencesand the seascapes and coastal landscapes of Northwest Florida have inspired many of his paintings of life on the water. He hassteadily expanded his subjects to include landscapes, wading birds, boats and portraits of both humans and animals. ÂI drew some in high school, but not any more until about seven years ago,ÂŽ he said. ÂMy first painting was a grouper, and he is rustic compared to today.I painted about six months on my own, then took lessons from Vickie Bush. She was really surprised at what I had already picked up.ÂŽ He said heÂs fortunate to have two mentors, Victoria Bush and Kathy Voorhis, who provide support and encouragement as he continues to work on his craft Â„ as dohis wife, Kay, and their three children, Josh, Megan and Mallory. ÂI would paint a mountain with snow on it if somebody paid me to,ÂŽ he said, Âbut thatÂs not my interest. ÂIf youÂd asked me why I started, I wouldnÂt think IÂd have ever painted people. But Vickie said, if you can paint a fish, then you can paint a face.ÂŽ Although he started working in acrylics,Landingham paints strictly in oils now. He took second place at the 2014 Spring Art Festival in Panama City,and he received a merit award for his painting, ÂLinda,ÂŽ in 2016.Landingham paints scenes from Florida Panhandle THE ARTISTÂS TOUCHOPENING RECEPTIONWhat: Dennis Landingham solo art exhibition Where: The Artist Cove Studio Gallery, 36 W.

E18 Friday, March 16, 2018 | Tournament day finally made it upon us, the season opener for the Florida Redfish Pro Series Emerald Coast Division. Jake and I felt confident going into this tournament knowing the previous weekends we were catching 6and 7-po und slot reds. The biggest concerns were previous two weeks of tournament boats pre-fishing and beating the banks, the front that rolled in the night before, the 7:30a.m. low tide with two sets of 0.1 tides, and the 20mph north winds that had been blowing for 24 hours. We knew with theconditions that had developed overnight Â„ dropped to 44 degrees with 15-20mph winds out of the north and the water temperature had dropped from 73 degrees to 66 degrees Â„ it was either going to be an amazing bite or a grind. We launched from Bay Point in the Grand Lagoon at safe light. WedrewNo. 8 on the launch and off we went. We rounded Deep Water Point, the bay was capping, the wind was ripping, and the first wave hit the side of the boat, splashed over and soaked us. I knew at that point it was going to be a long day. We continuedtoward our No. 1 spot in East Bay. As wegot close to our No. 1,three boats were already on it. We turned and headed for the No. 2 spot,a dock that produced last year around this time during a tournament. We eased up to the dock and skipped underand around the dock. We worked that dock for 45 minutes, only catching a 15-inch trout. We ran to the No. 3 spot, another dock that has produced in the past. We worked that dock for 30-45 minutes and caught nothing. We didnÂt see or feel a single fish; at that point, it had become a grind. Wethen changed our whole tournament plan and made a move to set of flats that I found the day before that were holding. We snuck up onto the flats anda wad of 30 reds was just sitting there. I had a gulp shrimp and Jake had a chartreuse tail. We cast over the wad by 15-20 feet, as not to spook, and worked that bait naturally back to the wad. The wad saw the bait and took off as if a dolphin was chasing them. Neither one of us understood why that happened, as we didnÂt throw on top of them, didnÂt burn them, and we werenÂt moving in the boat. We continueddown the flats, seeing reds every 50-75 feet, but couldnÂt convince any of them it was a good idea to eat. While wewere moving the flats, I positioned the boat about 100 feet or so from shore so we could throw and hit the shoreline, but not so close we spooked everything. The shoreline had a big jog in it, and we ended up in about 3 feet of water. I saw something big move off the port side, watched for a moment and a baby dolphin popped his headout of the water and started swimming beside the boat. Where we were fishing, the dolphins arenÂt used to humans and didnÂt come up to the boat, like at the pass looking for handouts. This was exactly what we didnÂt want or need when fishing a tournament; we packed up and moved again. At12:30p.m. we decided to head back to the No. 1 spot, and all the boats from that morning were gone. We found the wind pattern and drifteda long stretch of bank and mixed bottom. Spot No. 1 had always produced 4-pound reds and bigger, and thatÂs what we were expecting. As we drifted, we saw big reds all over that wouldnÂt eat just like the last wad we just left. We then sawfive orsix tournament boats on planemoving from the Intracoastal Waterway. Jake and I knew either they killed it where they were or they were grinding as well and headed for another bay. Jake switched to a gold spoon and hooked up.We gotit to the boat and it measured 19 inchesat 2.5 pounds. We have a cull permit for this tournament, so itwent in the live well and got the skunk out of the boat. We finished the flat and the 19-inchwas the only red from there. We hopped across the bay to another flat that had produced good fish in the past. We found the wind pattern and started a drift. About 50 feet into the drift, I hooked up and landed an 18-inch red at 2.3 pounds. He went in the live well with the expectation of culling up. We finished that flat with nothing else and decided to gamble, making a push for a shallow pond in the middle of nowhere. If you donÂt time the tides just right, you get stuck. We barely made it back into the pond, with an hour to fish before the run back to the scales. We fished the bank and deep holes around the pond. We had landed 6-pound reds out of there before, just not today. The hour was up; time to weigh in. We had 4.5to 5-pounds in the live well. We were fishing for 10K, therewere 49 teams, and 75 percentof the teams we were fishing against were the best of the best out there in the redfish tournament world. I felt if we had to grind and struggle that hard, there was a high probability that everyone did. Out of the 49 teams, only 19weighed in. It was a grind to see over 100 reds and only catchtwo dinks. We placed 19th, which is last of the teams that weighed in, but we do get points toward team of the year. We have a lot of workahead of us to make top 5 overall for the year. We would rather fall on our face now instead of when we must have the weight to get into the money.Red sh tournament opens seasonLIQUID DREAM FISHING TEAM A n t h o n y W a t s o n Anthony WatsonA dolphin surfaces.

E26 Friday, March 16, 2018 | By Tony Simmons747-5080 | @PCNHTonyS tsimmons@pcnh.comPANAMA CITY Â„ A new exhibitionat a downtown gallery shows that a vibrantdowntownhas beenthe goal ofcity planners, business owners, residents and politicians since way before the recent efforts to revive and renovate the marina and adjacent blocks. ÂWith all of the focus and energy on our downtown, I think visitors will enjoy these images that show the area vibrant and full of life,ÂŽ said photographer Bonnie Tate-Woodby. ÂThey remind us how downtown was at the heart of Panama City. Even the early photos of unpaved roads are full of possibility.Â Tate-WoodbyÂs business, The Light Room, is hosting ÂPeople and Places: A Candid History of Downtown,ÂŽ an exhibit of photographs from the Bay County Public LibraryÂs local history department. Most of the photos center on Harrison Avenue and surrounding streets, businesses, people at work and play over the last 100-plus years. Laura Moree, head of Local History and Genealogy at the library, put the show together and included lots ofbackground information on each location. ÂThis exhibit is important because it showcases the history of everyday residents working and relaxing in downtown throughout the past hundred years,ÂŽ Moree said. ÂI hope it will provide an interesting perspective for the downtown areaÂs evolution while also inspiring others with the importance of preserving Panama CityÂs stories.ÂŽ The exhibit openedMarch 14 and runs through March 31.The Light Room invites community members toan open house to celebrate the exhibit from 2-4 p.m. Saturday, March 17. Along with the changing streetscape, the images show the activity of daily life, memories of work and leisure, and the many businesses contributing to the heartbeat of downtown over the last century. ÂI love all the photographs, but one of my favorites is a 1902 picture of City Park, now McKenzie Park,ÂŽ Moree said.ÂThis picture, which reminds me of a painting, invites the viewer to not only gaze at the scene, but also to participate with it. For example, what is the bearded gentleman pointing at and what is he saying to the woman?ÂŽ The Light Room is located at 306 Harrison Ave., Panama City.

E28 Friday, March 16, 2018 | MOVIETOWN MOVIE CLUBEach week, locals Cole Schneider and Matt Greene share their different takes on new movies out in area theaters. For podcasts and more, visit MovietownMovieClub.com Cole: ÂWrinkle in TimeÂembraces clichsIn this irony-heavy, postmodern world of writing, clichs are usually inverted, exposed and dismissed. What ÂA Wrinkle in TimeÂŽ does so beautifully is what IÂve been calling for writers to do for a long time, particularly in kids movies Â„ instead of inverting the clichs, it embraces its clichd message with such fierce determination that it wins you over with a deep-seeded, genuine belief in the power of that message. It has a classical, tasteful approach to writing and the visual imagination to back it up. The story follows Meg (played by the brilliant, rangy Storm Reid) as she adventures across time and space to chase after her lost father alongside her precocious brother and charmed new friend. So much of this filmÂs bravery is rewarding, but still it seems thatÂAWrinkle in TimeÂŽis a classic case of the parts being greater than the sum. Though there is an impeccable clarity of both messaging and emotional arc, there lacks that same sense with regard to the plotting and pacing of the film, which tends to stammer around between thrills and lulls. It doesnÂt kill the movie, but it holds it down from the heights it tries to reach for. And yet, there remains a nugget of rare inflection being presented inÂA Wrinkle in Time,ÂŽand itÂs very likely that there is a generation of 8to 14-year-olds for whom this will be a landmark event. What it lacks in cynically observed perfection it makes up for with a rare and magical sincerity of heart. ÂA Wrinkle in TimeÂŽ has been a difficult film for me to review. ItÂs flawed yes, but another viewing may open me up to the charm IÂm currently (wrongly?) unwilling to fully embrace. Rating: out of Matt: Director wrecks ÂWrinkle in TimeÂ IÂve often contended that ÂboringÂŽ is the worst thing a film can be. ÂWrinkle in TimeÂŽ makes me rethink that. An exercise in doing, sayingand being too much, ÂWrinkle in TimeÂŽcertainly isnÂt boring, but it is bad. It has a lot in common with ÂTomorrowlandÂŽ: liveaction, visually-heavy Disney fantasy-adventures, headed by lauded filmmakers, which celebrate braininess. But where ÂTomorrowlandÂŽ was simply misguided, ÂWrinkle in TimeÂŽ is a straight-up disaster. It gets credit for being DisneyÂs most enigmatic, eccentric experiments in years, taking visual and philosophical cues from Jodorowsky and Kubrick. Unfortunately, all intended awe and wonder is swallowed up by good, old-fashioned ineptness. The story of a girl having to ÂtesserÂŽ across the universe to find her long-lost dad gets some things right, including the critical casting of the lead girl. Unfortunately, this engaging young actress canÂt quite right this time-traveling ship. The rest of the oddlycast actors certainly donÂt help. Zach Galifianakis plays a god-like being doing modern, self-aware schtick for some reason (ÂI like earthtones.ÂŽ); Reese WitherspoonÂs comicrelief is more annoyingly repetitve than funny; brilliant ad-libber Mindy Kaling is forced into delivering constant platitudes; and deus-ex-Oprah Winfrey leans into stoicism instead of inspiration. These obnoxious side-characters disappear eventually, and the film gets better for it, with potent descriptions of the evil ÂItÂŽ and some great, creepy suburban set-pieces. But itÂs really too late at that point. So much has gone wrong in so many ways (clunky editing, awful exposition, abrasive music, unearned emotions, prescription drug commercial graphics, ill-timed humor, laughable performances, etc), blame must be placed on normally stellar director Ava DuVernay (ÂSelmaÂŽ) for how unwieldy the final product feels. A forgettable, messy waste of a great cast and iconic source material. Rating: out of ÂA Wrinkle in TimeÂ wields talented castDirector: Ava DuVernay Starring: Oprah Winfrey, Reese Witherspoon, Mindy Kaling, Michael Pena, Zach GaliÂ“ anakis, Chris Pine, David Oyelowo Rated: PG (thematic elements and some peril)ÂA Wrinkle in TimeÂ Oprah Winfrey stars in ÂA Wrinkle in Time.Â [CONTRIBUTED PHOTO]
